Ceramics Monthly Features The Clay Coyote Pottery Incubator Program

January 21, 2017 By Morgan

In the February 2017 issue of Ceramics Monthly, The Clay Coyote’s Pottery Incubator Program is featured. To read the full article, download the PDF here.

Is an Incubator Right for You?

As you are deciding on the right next step in your personal journey, ask a few questions to help determine what you need.

1. Where do I need the most support right now? Is it in the creative process? Technical development? Am I looking for business guidance?

2. What are my personal career goals? Do I want to be a ceramics professor? Do I want to run my own studio? Am I looking at wholesaling? Am I setting up my own brick-and-mortar gallery or store? Am I interested in online retail channels?

3. Do I have the skills needed to run a small business? Am I good at organizing? Am I decisive? Do I have good time-management skills? Am I willing to put in the time, as much as 100 hours a week?”

One space available

Update from the Clay Coyote Pottery Incubator:

Join Levi and Katie in our emerging artist studio, can you see your pots in the nest kiln load?

There’s one space available in our emerging artists studio.

And, we just got some good news! We found out that we have some funds available for part-time work to help cover expenses (we were able to access some grant funding). You would have the potential to earn an additional $1,000 a month working part time to help off set your expenses, pretty awesome!

For more information, check out our new flyer (PDF) that has this updated opportunity on it.

Studio Update: One Month to Go

July 30, 2016 By Morgan

Lined up and ready for their debut!

Holy hot July! We’ve been working like crazy on the new Emerging Artist Studio (PDF) and want to share a few photos from our adventures.

 

Studio Additions

TLB Construction put up the new walls, insulation, and windows before we had to take a few days off for the Minnesota Pottery Festival, but now we’re back and we’re counting down the days until our three new artists start.

Continental Clay shipped us our three new Whisper-VL wheels and stools from Shimpo. These babies we’re test driven during this year’s Pottery Olympics and let me tell you they are so quiet and smooth.

Also, after a ton of research and advice from other potters we ordered our new sink. It’s stainless, with galvanized legs, and three bays. Next up we’ll get our Gleco HV system. I can’t wait to see the whole thing installed.

Next up in the Studio

Over the next two weeks, we’ll do some more drywall, taping, put a mote in our concrete to create a better drainage system, add gutters, install the new energy efficient lights in the Studio, pour the new floor, paint, and bring back all the tools from storage. Wow, I’m tired just reading it. Good thing we have so many awesome helpers, it’s true, “many hands make light work.”

 

Emerging Artist Update, There’s still time to Apply

Emerging Artists: Imagine your work displayed in our Gallery!

In other news, we’ve been interviewing artists for the three Emerging Artists positions. We’ve talked to potters from California, to New York, Colorado to Wisconsin, Kansas City to Virginia, North Carolina to Texas, and tons from our home state of Minnesota.

If you’re a functional potter, who likes to work with highfire, cone10, reduction glazes, and you’re looking for a Studio to launch

your small business please reach out via email to [email protected]. There’s still time to get your application in, but the space is filling up quickly.

For more information download our 1-page flyer (PDF) or 2-page information packet (PDF).

Studio: Then & Now

Over the next few months we will be refreshing the Studio to prepare the space for the new Emerging Artists.

For a little ThrowBack Thursday (#tbt) fun, here’s the Studio in 1996 and 2016.
