Our 2027 Potter in Residence Open Call is now live.
This is a year-long opportunity for a maker working in clay to spend time with us at County Hall Pottery, develop their practice, and become part of the life of the studio.
We welcome applications from artists, designers, potters, ceramicists, craftspeople, functional makers, fine artists, and other practitioners working through clay.
The residency offers dedicated studio space, seven-day studio access, use of our facilities, free use of kilns, recycled clay and standard studio materials, professional support, paid teaching opportunities, and a solo exhibition in December 2027.
It is both a supported studio residency and a fixed-term role. The resident will contribute 20 hours per week to the studio, gallery, teaching programme, exhibitions, events, and wider County Hall Pottery community.
Applications are open from 1 June until midnight on 30 July 2026.
