If you have recently graduated from a recognized craft, design or art college/university and are interested in pursuing a full-time career in craft, you should consider an artists residency in the Craft Studio.
The Craft Studio residency programme acts as a stepping stone between school and a professional career. It is designed to assist and promote emerging, professional craftspeople by providing time, facilities, professional development programmes and resources to create and develop work.
Full-time openings in Hot-glass, Metal/Jewellery, Ceramics and Textiles. Summer openings in Metal, Textiles and Glass when space permits.
