These classes, workshops or apprenticeships are also available through the Extension Program at the Woman's Building to women who may not wish to pursue the full Workshop program.

The Visual Arts Project stresses a basic approach to the visual expression of ideas using various materials and techniques. Encouraged is the discovery of personal forms that may cut across many traditional ones.

The Women Writers Program teaches all aspects of the writing process beginning with self-definition as a writer. Also, women are encouraged to learn how to design their own books as well as write them. Readings and special workshops given by well known women writers are also featured at the Woman's Building.
