I am happy to offer the residency program at my artist studio, fully equipped for working with clay, nestled in the heart of Palma’s historic old town, surrounded by museums and contemporary art galleries, and just a 10-minute walk to the beach. This program is for artists at different stages of their creative journey who want to work with clay - whether you’re looking to work independently, need guidance, or want full support throughout the creative process. I am here to provide the space, tools, and mentorship to support you in exploring new techniques and realizing your creative goals.

Opening


The studio is fitted with all necessary tools to support your creative process, including an electric kiln (100L, D 40 cm, H 60 cm, firing up to 1250°C), a Shimpo wheel, slab roller table, wall hand extruder, working tables, and shelving for storage.











In addition to the studio facilities, residents will benefit from a dedicated exhibition space focused on showcasing contemporary ceramics and sculptures created by women. Twice a year, I curate group exhibitions featuring works by our resident artists, offering a platform to connect with the vibrant art community in Palma.





Residency Offers:
Independent Artist Residency
600 EUR/week


This offer is for experienced artists who work with clay and need full access to a professional studio space to develop their work independently. You will be free to use all the facilities, work at your own pace, and explore new possibilities in a well-equipped environment. I’m also looking forward to an artistic exchange - sharing ideas, techniques, and insights as we work side by side. (Materials and firing costs are not included.)



Guided Technique Residency
1,100 EUR/week




This residency is for artists who work with other mediums and want to explore clay or for those experienced with clay who need support to experiment with new techniques or glazing. Drawing on my own knowledge and experience from my artistic practice, I will guide you in selecting the most suitable materials, methods, and approaches for your project. While I am here to offer expert advice and tailored guidance to get you started and keep you on track, the work will be yours to pursue independently, allowing you the freedom to develop your creative process at your own pace. (Materials and firing costs not included.)


Guided Creative Residency
1,800 EUR/ 1 week
3,300 EUR/ 2 weeks



If you are new to the arts and excited to start a creative project with clay, this residency is for you. Whether you have an idea brewing or are starting from scratch, you’ll receive complete guidance throughout the process - from finding inspiration and beginning your art research to developing your initial concept and crafting your final piece. This option allows you to explore the world of contemporary ceramics and sculpture with step-by-step support, helping you bring your artistic vision to life. (Materials and firing costs not included.)


To apply, please send me your preferred dates. Spaces are limited and carefully selected to ensure a personalized experience. Please note that the rates are based on a working week.


For the Independent Artist Residency / Guided Technique Residency options, please include a description of your project, a portfolio of your previous work, and a motivation letter explaining how my guidance can support your creative process.

For the Guided Creative Residency option, please provide a motivation letter outlining your ideas and goals for the residency.

I look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you to my studio. If you have any questions or need more details, please reach out. I’m excited about possibly working together or supporting you in exploring new creative possibilities.
