THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM


Founded by artists for artists, the Burnt Dirt residency is a unique collaborative program that offers emerging and established artists the opportunity to explore and expand their practice in object and ceramic art. 

Situated in the creative atmosphere of the Clay Wollongong ceramic studio, the four-week residency provides artists the time and space to both develop their own personal practice and projects, as well as contribute to the development of new object art collections through collaboration with the Burnt Dirt team. 

This unique collaborative experience seeks to expand the boundaries of ceramic and object art, as well as contribute to the growth of a more vibrant, thriving, engaged art community. 

Burnt Dirt offers one spot to a non local artist and one spot to a local artist. Artists will share a private studio space within Clay Wollongong.
