Byrdcliffe offers fully and partially funded residencies to creatives in all disciplines for monthly, seasonal, and year round duration in a serene mountain community 2.5 hours north of NYC in the mountains of Woodstock NY. Iterations open to individuals and couples. Byrdcliffe’s AiR program is particularly beneficial to those who find it restorative to live in a simple, communal environment in close proximity to natural beauty.

Cottages may accommodate couples depending on their practices.

Sculpture Trail at Saltaire Festival Open Gardens

We are looking for artists working in any 3D medium suitable for external display to show work in one of around twelve small garden spaces.
This two-day event is a a major element of the Festival Opening Weekend
Because of the nature of the Grade II listed architecture in the village, most spaces are small - many no more than enclosed back-yards, so the event is suitable for sculptural ceramics and glass as well as sculpture.  
Work may be for sale, and the footfall for the event is very good.
There is a small fee to selected artists of £20 to contribute to publicity and administration costs for this volunteer-run event, but no commission is taken on sales.

 

Ceramic Plasticity

Reflecting the resurgence of craft and skills-based making in art over the past decade, this one-day symposium explores common ground between contemporary art and studio ceramics. Emphasising the commonalities between artist and craftsperson, the event focuses on practical, theoretical, and professional aspects of working with clay, embodied in its malleability and resistance - its plasticity.

Pottery Throwing Classes - Clay College Stoke

Clay College Stoke based within the historic Middleport Pottery (home of the 'Throwdown') will run weekly evening pottery throwing classes. These are aimed at people who wish to learn the techniques of studio pottery in a professional working studio environment.

The classes are suitable for beginners and those with more experience of clay. The classes will be taught by skilled potter and member of the Craftsmen Potters Association Richard Heeley.

Situated in the Prince of Wales Studio, we offer a creative environment, excellent facilities including a potter’s wheel for each student that attends.

Evening with Akiko Hirai

Spend an evening at Middleport and during the course of the evening Akiko will demonstrate the making process behind some of her larger and most well-known work. She will describe her process and answer questions.

Japanese born Akiko studied ceramics at the University of Westminster and then Central St Martins. She continues to work in London. Her work focuses on practical ware, from large moon jars to smaller tableware, using the Japanese tradition of allowing the clay to show how it wants to be fired. Akiko’s work explores the interaction between the object and the viewer.
