In the organiser's words
Quoted from aviariostudio.eu and checked on 31 August 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
An art residency provides the technical conditions, time, and space to develop ideas and try new approaches. It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences. Aviário Studio Glaze Development Residency aims to promote exploration and production in the field of glaze development. The program is customized according to the artist’s goals regarding duration, outcome and focus.
We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas, with a specific glazing room equipped with extraction fans to ensure safe working conditions. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation, research and learning new techniques; or it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work. Specific Equipments Available: Electric Kiln (1260º) 220L Electric Kiln (1050º) 160L 3 electric Pottery Wheels
The duration of the residency can be 2 weeks up till 6 months
