It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences. **Aviário Studio Ceramics Residency** aims to promote the exploration and production in the Ceramics field. The program is customized according to the participating artist's goals regarding duration, outcome and focus. We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation, research and learning new techniques; on the other hand, it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work. Please note that Ceramics Residencies have to be at least 3 weeks. ### Specific Equipment Available - Electric Kiln (1260º) 220L - Electric Kiln (1050º) 160L - 3 electric Pottery Wheels ### Types of Art Residency **Self-Directed Art Residency** A Self-Directed Residency offers time and space to focus on your work. It is an invitation to seriously engage with your practice and creative process. You can find individual space to settle, and well-equipped workshops with specialized equipment to test possibilities and materialize your ideas. This residency is conceived for emerging, mid-career and established artists who wish to work independently on research and/or production. Extra technical, training, or creative guidance can be requested at any time during the residency, subject to a fee and availability. **Guided Art Residency** A Guided Residency is all about breaking new ground and trying different things. If you want to discover a new medium or to dig deeper into an art technique, you have the opportunity to experiment, get technical training and guidance, and expand your artistic possibilities. We will create a customised plan with you according to your goals and interests, allowing you to combine training with time for independent work. The number of training hours depends on the chosen art technique(s) and your goals. You will receive a fee quotation for your residency once your plan is structured and approved by you. **Assisted Production Residency** An Assisted Production Residency is for artists with technical knowledge who are focused on a specific outcome. Some large format projects or extensive work need well-equipped workshops and, often, extra production help. This residency is perfect to bring your ideas alive with all the equipment, space, and technical support you need. The fee quotation for your residency depends on the amount of assistance you request. ### The Studios The studio was an old aviary converted into 5 equipped workshops, with facilities for printmaking, ceramics, wood, metal, sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, photography, and bookbinding.
