Sou’wester Arts Teaching Residency Program

Are you a ceramic artist with unique techniques and a passion for teaching? We’re looking for innovative artist educators from across the country to join us for a Ceramics Teaching Residency at Ilwaco Artworks, our community ceramics studio.

Show us what sets you apart—do you forage for wild clay, create mesmerizing marbled pieces, craft expressive sculptural forms, or have a specialized approach to surface design? Nurture your own creative practice, then branch out into our community to lead an inspiring workshop.

Residencies are open to local, regional and national artists who are eager to bring their skills, ideas, and creative energy to our vibrant coastal town.
