residency opportunity: The North Carolina Pottery Center

The
North Carolina Pottery Center is offering a two year Residency for one
potter/ceramic artist, beginning no later than August 1, 2014.
The
Residency is designed to help the creative and financial development of
an individual in pursuit of establishing their own studio practice.
A
recent grant from the Windgate Charitable Foundation has enabled the
Pottery Center to reinstitute its Artist-in-Residence program.
Who can apply?
Candidates with BFA’s, MFA’s, or equivalent life experience, are invited to apply, by April 15, 2014
Where and what is the North Carolina Pottery Center?
Located
in the central Piedmont town of Seagrove, NC, the North Carolina
Pottery Center is the focal point of a bustling pottery community of
about 80 nearby potteries.
The
Pottery Center serves the wider community of North Carolina potters and
pottery enthusiasts, and promotes public awareness and appreciation of
the history, heritage, and ever-changing tradition of pottery making in
North Carolina through educational programs, public services, collection
and preservation, and research and documentation. Please visit www.ncpotterycenter.org
Facilities
The
Center sits in an attractive, wooded lot and consists of three
buildings. The remodeled Voncannon House (pictured above), which
contains living space (bedrooms, kitchen, laundry facilities, etc.) for
an Artist-in-Residence and periodic interns, office space for the
Seagrove Area Potters Association (SAPA), and a collection of resource
materials.  
To the
north, across a spacious parking lot, is the 6,000 square foot main
Museum building, which contains exhibition space, a gift shop, offices, a
kitchen, and rest rooms.
Nearby
is the 1,500 square foot Education Building, with wheels, electric
kilns, and other clay-working equipment. And on the hillside just below
it are two working, wood-fired kilns: a traditional groundhog and a
two-chambered catenary arch kiln.
Details of the Residency
The
Artist-in-Residence will live in the Voncannon House, and will pay no
rent, but will pay for utilities while there. They will be responsible
for basic maintenance and cleanliness of the living space.
They
will have access to all facilities in the Educational Building,
including wheels, electric kiln and the two wood-fired kilns. Residents
are encouraged to bring their own equipment.
All clay and
glaze materials, and other pottery supplies for their own work, will be
purchased by the Resident. A standard fee will be levied for each use of
the wood-fired kilns, and residents will follow NCPC policies regarding
repairs and tidy up.
They will be required to work for the
Pottery Center 16 hours a week. This will include two half-days a week
(8 hours) in local K-12 school programs, while schools are in session,
and the remainder of the time in activities relating to the Pottery
Center (like helping at exhibition openings, helping with educational
and other research projects, and other tasks at the discretion of the
director). However they may not find other supplementary employment
outside of the Residency, and are expected to be full-time studio
artists.
Engagement with the staff and the wider facility is encouraged.
Residents
will be encouraged to network with the wider Seagrove community of
potters for professional development and social activities.
They
will be encouraged to sell work in area craft fairs and stores, and
will be given an End-of-Residence Exhibition at the Pottery Center. They
will also be able to sell work at the Pottery Center’s gift shop.
