Description
Each academic year the ceramics, glass and jewellery departments at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham deliver an Artist in Residence (AiR) programme. We are currently offering an Artist in Residence (AiR) position within Glass for 2023/24 and invite interested individuals to apply.
The residency position offers the time, space and facilities for you to develop your glass-making practice or realise a specific project. You would be given access to our specialist ceramics and glass facilities within the workshops for the duration of the residency, for which there would be no charge. In exchange, you would be expected to support curriculum delivery on our undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This may include, but is not limited to; technical workshops, masterclasses, tutorials and professional skills. We would also expect you to contribute to the wider craft community at UCA, by engaging with students, sharing knowledge and skills, and supporting staff teams where necessary.
The position should be viewed as an opportunity for you to develop your own work and technical skills in a creative environment, without the constraints of set coursework or timetable. It also allows you to positively extend your CV. This opportunity is open to early and mid-career artists alike, and you would be expected to hold degree-level qualifications or have relevant professional experience within glass making.
