Visiting Artist at RCC

Rain City Clay offers 2-3 month visiting artist awards. The goal of awarding these opportunities is to build the community and offer resources to artists! Visiting Artists are given a studio that is offered in the RCC basement which is next to 4 rented spaces. It is a thriving group of ceramic artists. Check out all the studio artists working at RCC.

The Space
The studios are in the spacious, heated basement of RCC.
They are well-lit with fluorescent bank lighting.

• 10’ x 10’ square feet of workspace

• work table

• shelving unit

• plaster bat for reclaim

• a pottery wheel

• storage space

• access to slab roller, extruder, and spray booth when classes are not in session.

• access to shop glazes when classes are not in session

• access to class firings

Visiting artists are requested to:

• work in their studio at least two times per week.

• keep their space/ floor clean so clay is not tracked around the studio

• provide all their own hand tools, plastic, buckets, & personal needs

Clay, Glazes & Firings: There are two options

• Option one: You may buy your clay at RCC and use the class glazes and firings.

• Option two: If you already know how to mix glazes and load kilns, you may pay for your own clay, glazes and kiln firings and mix your own glazes and load your own electric kilns.

We are looking for clay artists who want to grow their clay community and be social with the group. RCC will highlight visiting artists and their artwork in our newsletter, blog, as well as our social media. You would be invited to participate in RCC/ RCS exhibitions such as our community cup showcase or holiday sale.
