THE CSA WILL GO ON SALE ON OCTOBER 3, 2026 at 12:00 pm. LIMITED TO 50 MThe RWS CSA delivers a year-long curated experience featuring original, handmade work from six prominent local artists. Subscriptions are priced at $350 and are a limited edition of 50 shares.

Support local creators and build your personal collection through a curated, year-long subscription. Over the course of 12 months, you will receive curated selections of handcrafted artwork from six incredible featured creators. Your prepaid subscription provides vital, upfront funding that helps both our artists and the studio sustain operations during the lean winter months when revenue is down and expenses are high.

Modeled after traditional agricultural CSA shares, this unique initiative allows art enthusiasts to buy a "share" of local, handcrafted artwork, directly supporting regional creators and the RWS studios.

RWS Studios is thrilled to announce our inaugural Community Supported Art (CSA) featured artists for 2027:

Armstrong Pottery
Strong Arm Bindery
Jaclyn Janis, Printmaker
Rachel Herzer, Ceramacist
Ponomo Styles, Jeweler and designer
Bret Woodard, Photographer

Subscribers will receive their artwork distributed across three seasonal boxes in January, May, and October 2027. Each box includes original handmade works by two artists.

Boxes will be available for local pickup at subscriber Pickup Parties, which will include opportunities to meet the artists and enjoy RWS events.
