Residency at Taos Clay

Taos Clay offers two
full-time residencies to emerging clay artists, BFA or MFA preferred.
Residents are offered a $250 monthly stipend for materials, a
semi-private studio space (to be shared with one other resident), free
firings, and the opportunity to sell their work in the gallery, in
exchange for 16-20 hours of work per week. Each resident will have the
opportunity to present a slide talk about their work to the local
community, and an individual show featuring work produced during the
residency will take place at the end of the year. Currently, resident
artists are required to provide their own housing.

Taos Clay offers a studio resident position and a gallery resident position. The studio resident’s
duties include firing, mixing glaze, mixing clay, maintenance, kiln

enabling residents to develop a body of work through access to a diverse
range of firing techniques and equipment. Residents must demonstrate a
