Residency Description:
The
Genesee Pottery is looking for two committed, community-minded clay
artists to be a part of our dynamic studio. Residents responsibilities
include glaze mixing, clay reclaim, studio maintenance, help with load
in/load out and sales in the Firehouse Gallery, and teaching classes.
The Residents are expected to contribute bowls to the Pottery’s annual Great Bowls of Fire Chili Fundraiser,
and to produce a cohesive body of work for a two-person show in the
Firehouse Gallery. While BFA or MFA candidates are preferred,
applicants are juried by a staff panel and emphsis is put on the
portfolio’s quality of work and the candidates expressed desire to be a
part of a community studio. There is no bias or preference for
functional work over sculptural or vice-versa.
Residents are
given materials at cost, and free firing, as well as studio space and
24/7 access. The Residents agree to a combined 15 hours of
studio/gallery/teaching per week. The residency begins September, 2012
and runs through August, 2013
