The Burton Ceramics Residency provides an opportunity for an artist in the early-stages of their career to explore and develop their practice in relation to The Burton’s collections resulting in an exhibition at The Burton in Spring/Summer 2026. Supported by The Burton team, the residency artist will research and develop a project that responds to The Burton’s ceramic collections. In addition, the residency artist will take part in a public event about the residency. The residency is flexible to the artist’s proposed approach, but it is anticipated that it will consist of 15-20 days’ work with completion before Summer 2026. There is an artist fee of £3,000 inclusive of all associated costs. This residency is for early-career UK-based artists who work with ceramics in their practice. An interest in researching and engaging with collections is important, and The Burton are excited to hear from applicants for who this residency would enable a significant development in their work.
