Cockpit Arts is delighted to announce the Cockpit Arts 2018 Ceramic Residency, made possible this year by the generosity of a Circle of Patrons. This is a unique development opportunity for a talented ceramicist to explore new ideas and concepts: Cockpit Arts will provide a support structure for the selected maker to develop their work and ideas and, at the same time, work towards a sustainable model of practice. The one year Residency is worth £5,000 and covers the cost of Cockpit Arts’ support services including a designated Residency studio. The Residency is open to all UK based ceramic practitioners.

Cockpit Arts has a particular interest in supporting a ceramicist who has a strong desire to experiment and take risks with their practice over the Residency period. The panel, comprising gallerist Sarah Myerscough; art critic Emma Crichton-Miller, ceramicist Felicity Aylieff and Cockpit Arts Chief Executive Vanessa Swann, will be looking for a maker who demonstrates originality, innovation, creativity, craft skills and quality in the work and concepts presented. As well as these criteria, we want to work with a maker who can clearly demonstrate the difference being at Cockpit Arts will make to their practice and business.
