Studio Ardilla Art Residency

Studio Ardilla Art Residency

Studio Ardilla 🐿️ ART RESIDENCY

Studio Ardilla is my ceramic studio by the sea, a beautifully renovated greenhouse in a quiet, blue spot along the Ligurian coast, not far from the center of Genoa.

I opened the studio in summer 2024, with the intention of creating a creative, living space to share with other artists and ceramicists through an art residency program.

This residency is open to potters, printmakers, as well as artists from different disciplines (photographers, writers, illustrators, and visual artists) who can spontaneously apply throughout the year and who are looking for a place to develop their artistic project.

We will share the studio, equipped for ceramics (pottery wheel, coil extruder, slab roller) and printmaking (etching printing press), and you will have comfortable private accommodation (private room with your own bathroom) adjacent to the studio. The studio is surrounded by the garden, fully enjoyable almost all year round, perfect for relaxing, working, or enjoying the stunning sea views. The garden also has a large shaded table where you can chill with a book or drink.

Printmaking and ceramics residents must have a solid working knowledge of their medium and respective studio equipment, and the ability to work independently.

Fees for one person for 2025:
1 week Β· 800 €
2 weeks Β· 1500 €
3 weeks Β· 2100 €

Free Spots β˜€οΈ
In some cases, the residency fee can be covered partially or entirely by finding an exchange arrangement:

- the artist donates an artwork at the residency (e.g., a mural, sculpture or painting, etc.)

- the artist is a ceramicist and proposes a collaborative project and research to be done together (I specialize in decoration and illustration on ceramics, and I work mainly with ceramicists who make medium/large pieces on the potter's wheel or hand-built; we can think about an exchange between making pieces/ glazes and the residency fee)

* Prices include the room, free access to the garden common areas, studio, and use of equipment (except for the kiln, which is not to be used freely, but the first firing of the pieces made is included. The second firing of the pieces and any shipping should be quoted separately).

The room features a full-size sofa bed that can comfortably accommodate two people, write to me if you would like to come accompanied during your residency period.

If you are interested please send me your proposal. β˜€οΈ
