About the Residency Fellowship

Realizing the need to enrich the existing collective studio with creative, energetic and artistically diverse ceramists, Baltimore Clayworks is offering a one-year residency fellowship as a memorial to one of our founders, Lormina Salter. "Nina," as she was fondly known to us, was a gifted teacher and respected artist who handbuilt large stoneware vessels and sculpture. Her initiative, energy and insistence on artistic excellence were instrumental in setting direction for Clayworks in its critical early years.

The residency fellowship runs from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009 of the following year. Applications will be juried by select artists in residence, the Director of Artistic Programs, the Executive Director and an outside curator or artist.

Former and current affiliates of Baltimore Clayworks are not eligible.
