National Festival of Making opens new opportunity for artists
The National Festival of Making is releasing a new Art in Manufacturing opportunity for an Artist Residency with Darwen Terracotta & Faience, industry leaders in designing and manufacturing architectural terracotta, faience and sculpture.
The residency will invite an artist / collective working in any art form to work alongside and draw inspiration from the manufacturer.
The residency offers the opportunity to study the history of making and manufacturing industries in Lancashire and the wider UK, its associated communities and making practices; impact and connection to global making; contemporary making practices, products and position in the contemporary making landscape – economically, culturally, environmentally and socially.
The residency period is expected to run from December 2024 – June 2025, with the outcome shown at the National Festival of Making 2025 (4th – 6th July)
Deadline for Applications: Monday 25th November 2024, 10.00 am. Learn more and apply here.
