S e w a r d C e r a m i c s G r o u p : Artist Co-operative
One group, who uses the studio, is the Seward Ceramics Group. We have about 20 members, who have achieved a relative competency in using the equipment that we have here and who have a longer term commitment to the studio. Many of these members have been students before they apply for membership. Resident Artists are encouraged to broaden their skills by sharing knowledge and techniques with one another, and participating in our classes and workshops at 50% of the normal tuition.
The application process is fairly painless. First, the artist requests an application. (Click here for an application). Second, the applicant schedules an appointment with the Executive Director of the Studio, to discuss their work and their needs. The artist should bring along examples of their work or slides of previous work. If the Director sees potential in the relationship, he/she passes along the application to the co-operative, and there will be another short interview to discuss the policies of the studio, and the opportunities available. If everyone is amenable, the initial 3 month period of membership begins.
Fees for this membership are $120/month, which gives the artist unlimited access to the studio, use of all the equipment, and moderate use of the materials in the studio. It also includes certain responsibilities in the studio, which are discussed during the interview. After 3 months, both the new member and the representatives from the group review the experience, and decide whether or not to continue. The SCG is a very fun group of people who welcome new members. We welcome your application or any enquiries.
The current group of SCG members are:
