CITY OR COUNTRYSIDE!!
Choose our city residency and live and work in the historical center of Rome,
just a few blocks from the Roman forum, Pantheon or Colosseum.
Bramante’s Tempietto pictured here is just a stroll across the Tiber to
Trastevere.
Or opt for our countryside residency near the Lake of Bracciano and the
Medieval town of Anguillara. The house and studio in a tranquil garden
setting is just a half-hour walk from the train station where you can
catch a train into the center of Rome.

The
Byrdcliffe Artist in Residence program provides artists of exceptional
talent with uninterrupted time and creative space to research and create
new work. Lasting four weeks (or a possible eight weeks for ceramic
artists), residencies provide artists with private studio space within a
community of peers and the serene natural setting of the Byrdcliffe Art
Colony. Artists are invited to participate in open studios,
work-shares, communal dinners and field trips, or may spend their
residency working in the creative solitude of a private studio.
Byrdcliffe’s residencies are particularly beneficial to those who find
it restorative to live in a simple, communal environment in close
proximity to natural beauty.
Surrounded
by the Catskill Mountains and just west of the Hudson River, the
Byrdcliffe Art Colony is home to over 80 artists each year, with 60
being hosted by the Artist in Residence Program while the remainder are
those who benefit from our artists’ housing. Beyond the AIR program, the
Colony is comprised of more than a dozen artist cottages, the
Byrdcliffe Theater, the Byrdcliffe Barn, a tennis court and the Mt.
Guardian hiking trail, as well as the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts
which is located in the center of Woodstock. At Byrdcliffe creative
time is sacrosanct, and artists are given free rein to decide what
activities will contribute to their residency experience. Byrdcliffe
offers a unique experience in simplicity of living amid the natural
beauty of a 250 acre campus of protected fields and woodland. At the
same time, Byrdcliffe provides the opportunity to live in a community of
creative people of all ages and backgrounds who are dedicated to
honoring the creative spirit.
Ceramics:
Please apply using the Visual Artists’ online application!! Byrdcliffe
accepts artists working in handbuilding and wheelthrowing techniques. To
be eligible for the residency, artists must have prior experience in
glaze mixing and kiln firing. CERAMIC ARTISTS CAN APPLY FOR 8 WEEK SESSIONS.
Application Deadline: March 1, 2017
Session Dates: Each
four week session is limited to 12-15 individuals. Candidates may apply
for additional weeks in the event a space becomes available. Most
sessions conclude with an Open Studio where residents share their work
with each other and the regional artistic community.
- Session I: May 31 – June 26, 2017 (4 weeks)
- Session II: June 28 – July 24, 2017 (4 weeks)
- Session III: August 9 – September 4, 2017 (4 weeks)
- Session IV: September 6 – October 2, 2017 (4 weeks)

I just wanted to take a minute to say a huge thank you to Pottery Making Info!
What an honor to be named top blog of 2016 : )
(insert 20 minute long happy dance in my kitchen here)
And I was also recently listed as the third best in a list of 40 Ceramic Websites and Blogs on the Web by Feedspot.
It’s a honor to play a role in this community, to participate, to engage, to learn, and to be inspired by each of you. Thanks to all my readers. Seriously. It makes my year that little old me from Saskatoon can play a part in this international community of makers. You all give so much, inspire so many. I’m just thankful to be along for the ride.
