call for artists: National Clay Week Open Studios

In the spirit of celebrating clay we have decided to make Open Studio’s FREE. Head to their WEBSITE to sign up!

National Clay Week Open Studio (NCWOS) is a nationwide event that celebrates clay, community and creativity. Join us on the weekend of October 11 – 13, 2019 for a celebration of clay in all 50 states! Studios all over the country will open their doors for demonstrations, lectures, exhibitions.

— Save the dates and your dollars so you can take home a new favorite piece!

As a part of NCW 2019 we are going to host a nation wide open studio event. This event is based off the project that The Australian Ceramics Association has been doing for years. NCW will assist you with support materials, advertising, and graphics to help you promote your event. To help offset the cost of these materials we ask that all participants pay a small fee.

This year, in expanding Open Studio, it is our goal to reach out to different communities and share the joy we find working with clay. We would love to have you or your studio participate again this year, by holding a sale, a community day, a lecture, or any other clay related activity. You are welcome to invite other artists to your studio to help host the event but our goal is to reach the public outside of our normal clay community. Building on your input we have created a press packet with a logo/signage, a press release to send to your local media outlet and a few other information sheets to help with the process.

upcoming symposia: Restating Clay

The ‘Ceramic Communities’ symposium will explore how sharing skills and ideas can lead to more supported and sustained artistic practice. There will be:

– Interactive workshops

– Film premiers of innovative arts practices

– An exhibition of interactive ceramic works

– Panel discussions in the Cardiff School of Art & Design Ceramics Archive

– Presentations exploring a diversity of models of collaborative practice, from conventional residencies/studio co-operatives to new innovations, with Haptic/Tacit, Collective Matter, Clayground Collective and Whitegold

– Posters illustrating the ‘About’, ‘Goals’ and ‘Methods’ of a diversity of creative practice.
