£15,000 Rosemary James Memorial Trust Award for Craft Makers re-opens for applications (UK)

This unique award is directed at makers steeped in practice using
materials singly or in combination. Such materials might include fired
clay or glass; fine or base metals; textiles using any kinds of
applications; wood; plastics; paper or other materials not included in
this list, where the emphasis is based upon the transformation of
materials through the use of sustained practice towards a series of
critical outcomes.


It aims to assist makers to investigate and develop a body of work which would otherwise be unaffordable.

The period of the award will culminate in an exhibition of work on public display in Northern Ireland.

call for artists: Can Craft? Craft Can! Biennial Residencies Open

A series of new, short-term craft residency opportunities in
making and writing have been created in Burlington, Ontario, as part of
the inaugural Can Craft? Craft Can! Canadian Craft Biennial.

Through the collaborative efforts of the Art Gallery of Burlington
(AGB), Craft Ontario and Studio Magazine, two residency programs will
host up to six makers and/or writers at the AGB from September 5th –
15th, 2017.

The Makers Residency will be hosted at the AGB, with access to studio
space from seven guilds of various disciplines on site, including
pottery, woodcarving and sculpture, photography, fine art, fibre arts,
rug hooking, and handweavers and spinners. Applicants are encouraged
across a range of experience, materials and processes used.
The Writers Residency will also be hosted at the AGB, including
elements of formal/directed exchange of ideas with leadership from
established members of the craft field, paired with a self-guided
learning environment. Applicants should be in the first part of their
careers, ready to explore and develop interests in material culture as
embodied in the craft discourse.
These two residency programs will run concurrently, doubling the opportunity for unique, cross-disciplinary exchange.
For more information on these exciting new opportunities and how to apply, see the full Maker Residency and Writer’s Residency notices.
