Auckland Studio Potters:
Artist in Residence 5
Opening Celebration: Thursday 21 January, 5:30 - 7:30PM
The Auckland Studio Potters Artist in Residence programme was established in 2019 to support ceramicists who are driven by curiosity and the desire to push beyond what they already know.
Each year, national and international artists are invited to spend up to three months working from one of ASP’s dedicated pod studios in Onehunga, Tāmaki Makaurau. At Auckland Studio Potters, the residency is not just a space to work, it is an active invitation to experiment, to test ideas, to follow unexpected directions, and to embrace the productive failures that open the door to new possibilities.
