Description of Program Residencies at Pottery Northwest in Seattle generally last 6 months to two years and include free studio space, $1,000 credit towards firing fees, and significant involvement in the center's community, including opportunities for teaching and taking free classes, as well as access to the retail gallery.

Pottery Northwest is a 7200 square foot professional clay facility situated in an early 1900’s brick building at Seattle Center with an adjoining outdoor kiln yard. Equipment includes potter’s wheels, a slab roller, an extruder, a spray booth with compressor, clay mixer, and sandblaster. A dedicated glaze area stocks a full complement of materials. They have both electric and gas fired kilns, including soda and raku kilns and a wood-fired pizza oven. There are a variety of semiprivate spaces available for residents. Residents have 24 hour access to the studio.

Each year, Pottery Northwest offers an in-house grant of up to $4,000 to a resident. The primary purpose of this grant is to stimulate the studio environment and enable adventurous work.
Conditions/Public Service Requirements It is expected that resident artists will spend a minimum of 20 hours/week in the studio devoted to the pursuit of their own work. There is a mandatory quarterly cleanup as well as a studio maintenance job that is generally less than one hour per week.
