Residency description

For four months, the grant winners can expand on their work with porcelain at HPM with an artistic project - they are expected to work on site at least four days a week. During their stay, they will work on its conception, realisation, exhibition and documentation. They are invited to make innovative use of the practical possibilities of the manufactory and to enter into dialogue with students, teachers, each other and the local people in workshops, lectures, evening events and exhibitions. The residency team welcomes and accompanies the scholarship holders through the programme. Applicants are welcome to discuss with us in advance of their application how they need or would like to be accompanied during the residency. We will then clarify individual conditions or provide support in the search for accommodation, etc
