“Our deadline to receive applications for our summer and long-term residencies is April 15th.

We are expecting a lot of applications this year, and word is they are coming from several different continents, but the good news is that there are now more opportunities as well. We are offering three one-month residencies this summer, in June, July and August.

One month may not seem like much time to get stuff done, but the energy level in the studio is extremely high and resident artists balance all of their hard work with potlucks, field trips, impromptu collaborations, and maybe even a cold beverage on occasion. Our eight year-long artists will show you the ropes as they prepare for their final exhibitions this summer.

In addition to our short-term residencies we are also taking applications for 6 full-year residents. Imagine, a full year in our studios to pursue your studio practice!

All of this takes place among the beehive kilns, a restored 1912 stoneware factory, a museum, decommissioned factories, and a brand new 12,000 sq. ft. ceramic studio.

And all this takes place in Canada!

Sounds good Eh?!

Here’s all our Application Info. See you soon!”

The amazing artists Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell aka These Gray Days will be hosting some upcoming masters’ ceramic workshops that you won’t want to miss.

“We are pleased to announce that we are now beginning to hold masters’ workshops at our studio on Granville Island. Our intention is to offer intensive hands-on instruction, focusing on building skill sets with concrete objectives. They are designed to move students through a rapid progression of understanding in the medium. No previous experience is necessary for introductory courses, but students with experience are welcome. For more advanced courses, we ask that students take the introductory courses first or demonstrate their level of experience. The courses will be offered once per week and in four-week segments (although this may vary from one course to another).

Our first courses will begin Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012. Each class will be from 7pm to 10pm once per week on its given day. Space is limited (4 to 5 per class) and classes are filling up fast, so contact us right away to secure your spot.”
