Pilchuck will provide a small stipend, housing, meals, some studio access, and the opportunity to occasionally sit in on lectures, demonstrations, and participate in special events.

By design, the educational program at Pilchuck varies from session to session; each new combination of classes, instructors, assistants, and students creates a unique rhythm and energy. To support each session effectively, it is vital that interns exhibit flexibility both in spirit and working responsibility.
