Entry Fee (Salad Days Residency Application): $25.00
The Salad Days Artist-in-Residence at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts is commissioned to produce 550 plates from indigenous earthenware for the Center’s annual Salad Days fundraising event – a community festival featuring locally sourced foods that draws hundreds of guests every year.
Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts is a small art residency center
located in mid-coast Maine. During the summer and fall months, artists
from across the country and beyond attend residencies at the Center that
vary in length from 1 to 6 weeks. During this time, artists live and
work alongside one another, sharing a large open-concept studio,
enjoying communal meals, and living on campus in shared or private
housing. The Salad Days artist holds a unique position at the Center,
with a focus on creating plates for Watershed’s largest fundraiser of
the year.
The artist is selected by a jury in late winter prior to their residency
and resides at Watershed for four to six months (typically between
mid-May and mid-September), producing plates for the following year’s
Salad Days. During the residency, the Salad Days artist receives housing
in a private room, all meals, a large studio, free materials and
firings, and a stipend of $500.
Watershed provides opportunities for the Salad Days artist to sell work
at events and to exhibit in group shows. Salad Days artist plates gain
broad exposure being featured both in Watershed print and online
publications, and in local and regional press and advertisements.
To apply, please answer the following questions and submit 10 images of
your work. Include at least one image of a plate you have made.

“Faceting the bowls posted yesterday. I’ll quickly trim the outsides to remove any throwing rings, these have a tendency to throw off the spokeshave, the wooden tool I’m using with a sharp blade in the middle and make my cuts less consistent. The difficulty with these is catching them just at the right moment in terms of dryness, they need to be just on the harder side of leather hard. Once these have been faceted I’ll score and slip a lug handle onto one side. I’ve found this particular piece quite challenging, the faceting process can be really irritating as one wrong cut can wreck the pot.” #pottery #ceramics #ceramic #clay #liveauthentic #craft #craftsmanship #handmade

DEADLINE: December 17, 2016
NCECA International Residency Awards support projects that are
approximately one month in duration, to occur between April 2017 and
March 2018. Residency dates vary; check details below.
For 2017, NCECA is pleased to partner with:
- Medalta International Artists In Residence Program
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
- Celebrating 10 years at Curaumilla Art Center with NCECA Residency
Santiago, Chile
The purpose of NCECA is to promote and improve the ceramic arts
through education, research and creative practice. One of the many ways
that NCECA supports its members is by providing opportunities to engage
in international programs. Intercultural exchange of ideas and methods
is critical to evolution of individual artists who through their
immersion and experimentation, absorb and sometimes transform influences
of other artists and their cultures. NCECA has participated in programs
in Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and South America. Global
interface will continue to play an important role in NCECA’s efforts to
sustain and advance a vibrant ceramic art and education community.
The award amount available for 2017 will be $3750.00 per residency.
Partnering residency centers are expected to support the artists through
in-kind and/ or monetary support subject to their available resources.
