Common Clay x WCCD Residency



Common Clay has partnered with @workingclasscreativesdatabase to offer two residencies to WCCD members based in East Sussex.


We are offering two artists from low socio-economic backgrounds a one-year residency at Common Clay. This residency aims to provide artists who have limited access to ceramic facilities the opportunity to experiment with clay and engage in dialogue with studio members, visiting artists, and curators to potentially activate new ideas in their work. The residency is open to artists looking to reconnect with the making process, be more playful and experimental in their practice, and would benefit from joining a creative community. While ceramic experience is required, artists from all backgrounds are welcome to apply.


Requirements: 


- identify as an artist from a working class background


- be a WCCD member (you can become a member via @workingclasscreativesdatabase website)


- some experience of ceramics


- able to commit to one day per week at the studio (Wednesday-Friday)


- East Sussex based and able to travel to Bexhill



Deadline Friday 26th April - 5pm

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
