Artists in Residence

Celebrating emerging talent in ceramics

The Artist in Residence program is currently on hold and is being thoughtfully reimagined and retooled. The team at Pottery Northwest made this decision in order to engage in mindful consideration of the various needs of our clay arts community.

Throughout the years, the Artist in Residence program has been a cornerstone program with an impactful legacy of supporting emerging artists, giving them the opportunity to expand their current body of work, explore specific projects, and elevate their art to new heights. 

Since 2019, Pottery Northwest has recently experienced unprecedented changes impacted by our move to a new location, the Covid epidemic, and a reassessment of our identity, mission and commitment to our community. As such, we similarly feel obligated to create a more accessible, equitable, and sustainable residency program that will continue our commitment to arts education and excellence.

In the meantime, we have launched an exciting Visiting Artist Program that welcomes high-caliber artists to our clay studio, providing them with a platform for artistic discourse and innovation. .
