Introducing The Community Clay Fellowship: Broad Studios Club House x Future Front
Generously funded by the independent artists behind women-owned Broad Studios Club House, The Broad Studios Club House x Future Front Community Clay Fellowship has emerged as a pay-it-forward way to make ceramics more financially accessible as an artistic practice and/or a form of creative entrepreneurship.
Open to makers, artists, designers, creatives or creative-curious types of any kind in Austin, Texas, the fellowship covers 18 free six-week ceramics courses at Broad Studios Club House. Released for the first time this Spring, we received 170+ eligible applications for the fellowship. Over the course of two months, our team engaged in a community-led curatorial and rank-choice voting process to select recipients for the six-week class fellowship.
Today, we’re proud to introduce you to this season’s recipients!
