This program is made possible by the generous support of the McKnight Foundation, Minneapolis.
“Deeply rooted in our community, Starworks fosters meaningful connections between visiting artists and local makers, creating opportunities for exchange across education, professional practice, and studio development. Visiting artists are encouraged to meet, learn from, and work alongside potters from the Seagrove area—one of the oldest and largest pottery communities in the United States—gaining insight into a living ceramic tradition while contributing their own perspectives and skills.
Resident, Intern, and Guest ceramic artists at Starworks benefit from studio spaces located adjacent to the Starworks Clay Factory—an exceptional resource for artists interested in working with raw, locally sourced materials. This close connection allows artists to test, research, and develop their own slips and glazes using unprocessed regional clays. Starworks also offers custom clay blends upon request. Many artists are surprised by the range and beauty of these wild clays, each with its own distinct character and material qualities.”
The application deadline is just one week away!
