After dinner, occasional presentations are a traditional, elective part of the stimulating and supportive environment. Readings, slide shows, open studios, and informal performances allow Colonists to become acquainted with and inspired by one another’s work. Friendships established among artists-in-residence often lead to collaborations and connections beyond the Colony. APPLY: Residencies are awarded based on a completed application to the Colony.

Summer residency with invited artist Robin DuPont
Medalta International Artist in Residence program is pleased to announce that Robin DuPont will be the invited artist for the June residency this year.
Robin’s education in the field of ceramics includes educational training from four institutions, in three different counties. With a completed BFA from Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, AB, Canada, Robin also studied at the Kootenay School of the Arts, in Nelson, BC, Canada, the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia and is currently an MFA graduate student at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, USA.
A three-year apprenticeship with a studio potter, as well as a research trip and several work-studies in Canada, U.S.A, Australia and Korea, residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Red Deer College, and the building and firing of many different wood kilns also contribute to the depth of his experience in the field. His employment experience has been as an adjunct faculty member teaching introductory clay at the post secondary level as well as six years experience as a ceramics technician. Robin also spent four years building and maintaining a studio practice out of his home in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.
Summer Residency This is our largest residency of the year with up to forteen artists sharing our large 12,000 sq ft studio. There is a palpable excitement in the air as this diverse group of artists bring a variety of concepts, skills and techniques together for a month of intense ceramic exploration. Deadline for registrations is April 15th. Application fee is $25. Visit medalta.org/miair for more information.
Workshop with Cathi Jefferson August 6-16th
This workshop with British Columbia artist
Cathi Jefferson will explore both the mechanics of making pots as well as addressing the notions around the creative process. This is a new concept in that the whole creative process is considered – from idea to unloading hot pots out of the kiln! In this hands-on workshop, Cathi will guide the students through the entire process of making pots for our soda and salt kilns.
For the first three days of the workshop, Cathi will lead a hands-on seminar on the specifics of making pots for our salt and soda kilns. Types of clay, slips and terra siggilattas will be discussed in conjunction with different forming methods.
The middle five days of the workshop will leave the students to work independently with guidance from the Historic Clay District’s Artistic Director Aaron Nelson. After this period of creative exploration, Cathi will return for the final three days to teach various glazing techniques as well as the firing of the salt and soda kilns.

La Meridiana organizes residential Ceramic Courses and Pottery Workshops of one or two weeks since 1981. They are thought for beginners, advanced and professional potters.
The topics treated are various and refer to all the ceramic processes: hand building, throwing, trimming, decorating, study and application of glazes and the various firing techniques (majolica, raku, high temperature, salt & soda, wood, etc). The Ceramic School is set in a restored 15th century farmhouse, in the centre of Tuscany, land of Etruscan and Roman culture, medieval architecture and renaissance splendour. Our goal is to offer a facility dedicated to a continual education in the ceramic art, a meeting ground in a place rich in Italian culture. The annual clay seminar, organised for Italian potters on specific contemporary ceramic topics and the International Show of Ceramic Sculpture “Concreta” in Certaldo, where we invite masters of modern ceramics, complete our main cultural of activities.For a complete list of upcoming workshops please check out their website (there is far too much interesting information to list here!)
