Funded Internship in Ceramics for Artists in New York 2019

Women’s Studio Workshop invites artists from anywhere in the world to apply for the Ceramics Internship from October 2019 to March 2020 in New York in the United States. You’ll work directly with the Ceramics Studio Manager, preparing for the annual Chili Bowl Fiesta fundraiser.

You’ll work on a production scale, creating between 300 and 600 vessels, depending on the studio’s need. After the Fiesta is over, you may also teach one of the month-long spring ceramics courses. Interns work 40 hours/week, generally Monday through Friday, 9:00-5:00, but the schedule may change to accommodate the Workshop’s programming. Outside working hours, and with respect to residents’ work, interns have unlimited studio access.
