The Taliesin Fellowship

The Taliesin Fellowship was an apprentice program founded by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1932, aimed at training architects and artists through hands-on experience. Participants, called apprentices, worked closely with Wright at his homes and studios, learning about design, craftsmanship, and sustainable building practices. The program emphasized creative collaboration, individual development, and integrating architecture with environment. It combined practical training with artistic exploration, fostering a community of learners dedicated to innovative design. The Taliesin Fellowship significantly influenced American architecture and architectural education, blending mentorship, experiential learning, and craftsmanship in a unique, immersive environment.
