1 Year Residency: June 15, 2016 (Residency starts October of 2016)
Taos
Clay offers three full-time resident artist positions to emerging clay
artists. For seven years Taos Clay’s residency has attracted artists
from around the country to gain experience in managing the day-to-day
operations of a community clay studio.
All residents are offered a
semi-private studio space, free firings, wholesale materials, paid
teaching opportunities and the opportunity to sell their work in the
gallery in exchange for 20-25 hours of work per week.
The
residency at Taos Clay Studio offers artists a supportive environment to
explore and develop in their personal work while gaining insight into
the business of making art.
Residents must demonstrate a
willingness to work with the local community, and a desire to grow in
their own work. They must bring a high level of professionalism and
competency to the studio that enriches the quality of our programs and
facility. Residents must also demonstrate a willingness to adapt to a
growing studio with ever changing needs and expectations.
Applications are accepted in the Spring of each year. Click below for information on our one and two year residency programs.

How
is placemaking shaped by a tradition of craft? From Medicine Hat’s
Medalta factory, thriving on the rich resources of clay and natural gas
in the 1900s, to bespoke, digital means and mass customization, ‘craft’
defies narrow definition. And yet the ability to think with one’s hands
is pervasive in our connection to local culture and our natural
environment. What traditional ways of making and construction are
important to our city? And what economic possibilities does craft and
making afford?
