Located on 100 acres of rolling hills and woods,
Cub Creek Foundation’s setting and facilities provide the unique opportunity for emerging ceramic artists to fully immerse themselves in their development with few distractions.
Many artists take this time to develop new bodies of work, explore sustainability by researching wild clays found on the property, or participate in communal wood firings.
Beyond the residency program, Cub Creek Foundation is proud to offer additional opportunities for local artists including demonstrations, wood fire workshops, and studio and kiln rentals.

Wood Firing
Cub Creek four wood firing kilns provide the foundation for many of our programs. By offering a diverse range of firing styles, we aim to provide space for emerging and established artists to experiment and refine their approaches to this ancient firing method. -
Local Clay Research
Our program sits upon acres of high grade, refractory red clay deposits which resident artists have sourced and used for many years.
As one of the only residency programs in the US with such extensive access to local materials, this bountiful and inspiring resource has become an integral part of our program’s identity. -
