About

The Ceramics Artist in Residence Program at the Sawtooth School for Visual Art is designed to encourage and enhance the creative, intellectual, professional, and personal growth of emerging studio artists. It is a period for artists to focus intensely on their work, explore new ideas and techniques, and push their work to new levels. Community involvement, professional development, and self-exploration are at the core of Sawtooth’s goals for residents.

The Ceramics Residency program is a one-year commitment. Three residents, two in wood firing and one in electric/gas firing, are chosen by the Director of Ceramics along with a rotating jury. The selections are based on the quality of the work, its artistic merit, and the diversity of the prospective group in terms of work, background, and stage of career development.

Meet our 2024-2025 residents below! Applications for our 2025-2026 program will open in Spring 2025.
