technical tuesday: Beautiful logic of John Gill
This image is one I keep coming back to…I saved it on instagram when Matt Wedel posted it. It’s from Florida Heat 2019 and a demo that John Gill presented. Sigh, all of the beautiful possibilities.

Watershed’s summer sessions provide time and space for
small groups of up to 15 artists to step away from their daily routines,
immerse themselves in their work, and make new connections within the
clay community. During a residency, artists work independently in our
large communal studio. Most of the summer sessions are organized by
artists—who propose a theme related to clay and recruit four to eight
other artists to join them. The balance of participants in a session
(seven to ten more artists) register here on our website, drawn by a
shared interest in the session theme. Once in residence, all of the
session’s artists work side-by-side in the Watershed studios.
During a summer session, you will have unlimited time to work and
dialog in the studio alongside other artists-in-residence, along with 3
delicious meals a day, and comfortable accommodations in shared or
private housing. When reviewing session options, consider choosing a
theme that resonates with you, whether you want to delve more deeply
into that focus or follow your own path of inquiry once you are here.
Watershed residencies are filled on a first-come, first served
basis. Simply fill out the registration form and submit your deposit.
Visit our housing and fees page
to review the costs of attending a residency. Please note that all
artists are required to live on campus during a session. For those
interested in applying for merit-based or need-based financial aid, the yearly application deadline is February 15 with awards announced in mid-March.
View details on their website on each of our 2017 summer sessions and register early to reserve your spot.
