Our summer residencies in Rome are full, but
there is still a possibility of a one or two month residency in our
studio in the countryside for the months of June, July and August. The
successful applicant(s) will have a one-bedroom house and garden plus a private studio. We provide technical assistance and a final show in our studio in Rome.
This option is particularly attractive for those who want to bring
their partners/spouse or family. The house is a 5-minute drive from the
train station and just 10 minutes from the lake of Bracciano, a popular
holiday spot. We have both low and high-fire kilns and this studio
allows reduction firing too using gas kilns.
The cost is the same as
our Rome residencies. The deadline for applications is 1 May.
Preference will be given to applicants interested in longer periods.

The non-profit organization ‘c.r.e.t.a. rome’ is offering
an international self-funded residency program in Rome, Italy. The
Italian word for clay seemed perfect to express our commitment to
creating an international reference point for ceramics and the arts
in the eternal city of Rome. Moreover, taken as an acronym, it spells
out our main activities: ceramics, residencies, exhibitions,
teaching and the arts. We are located in the mid 16th-century
Palazzo Delfini in the historical center of Rome, just blocks from
the Capitoline Hill on one side and the Pantheon on the other.
We offer artist residencies for ceramicists and visual artists for
periods of 4 to 6 weeks (or 3 months: if you are interested you can
extend your residency period into our Fall session). The residency
includes a semi-private equipped studio, housing in the historical
center of Rome, and technical assistance in procuring materials,
firings, etc., advice on museums, galleries and sites in Rome and
beyond. Artists have the opportunity to focus on their art, whether it
be creating a new body of work, expanding a well-established oeuvre
or allowing themselves to draw inspiration from their surroundings
and the centuries of culture that define the eternal city. In
addition, they will have access to the wealth of galleries and
exhibitions in Rome and beyond. Artists will have an opportunity to
present a proposal for a final exhibition of the works produced during
the residency period.
We are also offering a residency in the countyside near Bracciano,
with private accommodation in a 1-bedroom house with a garden and a
private studio. This option is particulary atractive for ceramic artists
who work with reduction firing and/or collaborative projects.
A selection committee composed of artists, art critics and historians
carefully evaluates applicants based on their artistic experience,
merit and project proposal. For more info and costs, contact Lori-Ann
Touchette, [email protected] or see our web-site:
