About the Lormina Salter Fellowship

Realizing the need to enrich the existing collective studio with
creative, energetic and artistically diverse ceramists, Baltimore
Clayworks is offering a one-year residency fellowship as a memorial to
one of our founders, Lormina Salter. “Nina,” as she was fondly known to
us, was a gifted teacher and respected artist who handbuilt large
stoneware vessels and sculpture. Her initiative, energy and insistence
on artistic excellence were instrumental in setting direction for
Clayworks in its critical early years.

The residency fellowship runs from September 1st to August 31st of
the following year. Applications will be juried by select artists in
residence, the Residency Program Coordinator, the Executive Director and
an outside curator or artist.
