Our Artist in Residence program is open to qualified clay artists looking to enhance their knowledge and experience in a working studio environment. Residents are expected to work to develop a strong and cohesive body of work, have a visible presence in the studio and interact with members of the clay community and the public. Â This year-long adventure starts on September 1 and continues through August 31.
We also have a 3-month Summer Residency opening, running June 1 – August 31. Our summer resident will have the opportunity to assist or teach in our summer kids & clay camp programs while developing their voice as an artist and being part of a dynamic ceramic community.

Entries are now invited for the International Ceramics Competition Mino.
The competition is the main event of the International Ceramics Festival Mino, Japan. With the aim of contributing to the development of the ceramics industry and the promotion of culture through international exchange of ceramics design and culture, this year marks the 14th edition of the Festival.
The 2025 competition saw nearly 4,000 entries from over 70 countries and regions.
âNow that we are in the 21st century, we face an age of mass production, mass consumption, new materials, and new technologies. And we question ourselves. In which direction will the strong waves of our times sweep the spirit and existence of ceramics? Will creative powers be lost before the onslaught of technological achievement? Will we come to deny the warm humanity that connects and looks gently over people living everyday lives? The International Ceramics Exhibition Mino, Japan, offers a glimpse into a future blessed with creativity, backed by the ultimate in technical sophistication, and with the unlimited potential of humanity.â
Application Deadline: 29 January 2027
Exhibition: 8 October – 7 November 2027

Your residency. Your evolution. Your next artistic chapter.
John has been producing ceramics since the age of 12. Almost 30 years later, he opened up his home studio and his studio at the Montebello Design Centre, in Cape Town, to provide a space for experimentation and innovation.
Johnâs brilliance lies in his mastery of material engineering. Through his mentorship, residents are guided to develop their own distinctive ceramic technologies and discover pathways to scale their production. His philosophy – âembracing the noble catastropheâ -is fertile ground for bold artworks that forage new frontiers.
