Sell Work

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 Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio.

The Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio participates in and hosts 3-4 festivals and sales per year, providing students and residents the opportunity to sell their work.

My residency will always be a deciding factor of how I identify myself as I strive to keep growing as an artist.
