Artist in Residence Categories
FIRE ARTS does not teach classes. Artists who are eager to work on sculpture, pottery or jewelry alongside professional or emerging artists can enjoy the privileges of a Saturday and/or Night Artist in Residence at Fire Arts, Inc. This is your opportunity to work independently; it is not a class.
CERAMICS. Create ceramics on the wheel or make hand built artwork. Our artists have their own potters’ wheels, but we have others available. All potters provide their own art materials, tools and supplies. They also share the cost of firing.
SCULPTURE. Sculptors can bring their own modeling stand or borrow if one is available. All artists are responsible for their own art materials, hand tools, supplies, etc. Artists working from a model share the cost of the model. Sculptors share the fuel cost for burning out their wax and casting bronze. Everyone pays for the materials they use.
NEED WE MENTION? All artists are expected to clean up after themselves, and we appreciate it when they also do some small thing for the good of the studio, like tidy or sweep.
Come join the fun. You can start immediately or sign up now for next month. We would love to get to know you.
SATURDAY Artist in Residence $75/MONTH
Work 10-4 on Saturdays alongside other artists.
NIGHT Artist in Residence $75/MONTH
Work Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:30 - 9:30.
COMBINED SATURDAY AND NIGHT Artist in Residence $100/MONTH

FULL PRIVILEGES Artist in Residence

ALL ARTISTS pay for their own art materials and bring their own hand tools. Artists using the kiln will be charged a fee for the fuel used.
