YEAR-LONG RESIDENCY DATES: Moving Stipends Available

“My residency will always be a deciding factor of how I identify myself as I strive to keep growing as an artist.” – Logan Jensen
Resident Artists should have a BA, BFA or MFA degree in Ceramics, and are expected to be self-motivated with the capability to work independently yet cooperatively in a professional studio setting.
This bi-annual event, features demonstrations and lectures from artists such as Matt Kelleher, Jeff Oestreich, Peter Pinnell, Margaret Bohls, Bede Clarke, Israel Davis, and TJ Erdahl. Past speakers include Brad Schweiger, Jen Rogers, and Susannah Biondo. Gallery openings, slide lectures, mug exchange and more.
The Clay Conference is a fantastic opportunity to learn new techniques
We have an adjoining 800 sq. ft. gallery which houses exhibitions throughout the year, primarily featuring ceramic and glass artists. Each Resident Artist will have a gallery exhibition toward the end of their residency, and may also have the opportunity to curate other shows. We also market and sell work through various events held at the ICCGS, and host 3-4 events per year, providing students and residents the opportunity to sell their work.
