The European Ceramic Workcentre in the Netherlands offers opportunities for artists, designers and architects to explore the technical and artistic possibilities of ceramics. Applications are being accepted for their 2010 residency program.

As an artist-in-residence centre, the .ekwc annually welcomes about 44 artists, designers an architects to experiment with ceramics for a continuous or phased period of three months.
The .ekwc does not only offer studios, workplaces, the most advanced equipment and living space, but also the support of a team of specialists. This team gives a unique added value to the residency as 75% of the participants have no or little experience with ceramics. Intensive guidance allows the participants to realize their prearranged work plans.
The residency is concluded with a final presentation.
