Description

Throwing Shapes is Ireland's first community ceramics studio based in Dublin City. Throwing Shapes has over 100 studio members and has just unveiled a brand new state-of-the-art professional growth membership studio, residency programme and three student classrooms.

Clay City is a year-long collaboration between Throwing Shapes and Staycity, offering three 3-month professional residencies for ceramic artists.

This one-of-a-kind initiative provides free studio space and accommodation in Dublin City, aiming to support artists in developing their careers while contributing to Ireland's leading ceramics community. Our goal is to attract both Irish and international ceramic graduates and residency applicants, encouraging community engagement and establishing Dublin as a hub for ceramics. Staycity's involvement is crucial in removing financial barriers for artists seeking to work and live in Dublin City.

The professional residencies offer established artists and ceramicists 3-month's in a state-of-the-art ceramics studio to complete a specific project or create space for dedicated studio research time. The first professional residency application opens on the 1st August.
 

Outcome

Exhibition or Commission - up to artist.
