Anderson Ranch is, as their Web site says, a place like no other. Nestled among the high peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the resort community of Snowmass Village, Colorado, the Ranch is just minutes from Aspen and 160 miles west of Denver at an elevation of 8,200 feet above sea level. This summer the woodworking program, directed by Susan Working, is offering almost thirty workshops which are being led by a faculty of renowned artists and gifted instructors.

The complete list of workshops, as of the end of March, is shown below. Be aware that the list may change. For example, new classes are added periodically. For more information on the furniture and woodworking schedule, contact...
