THE CLAY CO-OP CERAMIC ARTISTS RESIDENCY PROGRAM
About the Residency
We are a peaceful and inspiring clay collective located in Sunny St. Pete, FL. The Clay Co-Op Artist in Residence Program offers local and emerging artists a unique, hands-on experience to grow their skills, pursue personal projects, and contribute creatively to our community. Residents gain access to studio space, mentorship, and professional development in exchange for teaching, assisting with studio maintenance, and executing a Special Project that aligns with their chosen Concentration. Residencies last between 6 months to a year and culminate in a solo exhibition in our gallery. From 3D clay printing to glaze formulation and curating exhibitions, our program provides artists with an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in their artistic journey.
