2013 EAiR APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 13, 2013
SEPTEMBER 23–NOVEMBER 15, 2013
The EAiR program supports artists who are making a transition in their professional lives. Whether moving from academia to a professional studio practice, taking up a new medium, or beginning a new body of work, artists find this independent residency ideal for contemplation, research, and experimentation. The program provides artists with a place and the time to develop an idea or project in glass, with the potential for realizing a new body of work.
The residency requires a project proposal and supports kilnworking, coldworking, printmaking, and use of mixed media but not hot glassworking. The EAiR program is an independent artist’s residency, so no instruction is available and some glassmaking experience is required.
Residents have access to many Pilchuck studios, including the glass-plate printmaking (vitreography) studio; plaster studio; fusing, slumping, and casting kilns; flameworking torch; and coldworking equipment. No hot glassworking is available.
The residency requires full-time participation by six artists. Residents should expect to partake in communal studio clean-ups and be available to visitors during the Auction Tour, among other activities.
Included in the residency award is a stipend of US$1,000 per artist, open studio space, shared cooking facilities, and a private room in a cottage with shared bath. Materials, instruction, food, and travel reimbursement are not provided.
For more information, please contact Becca Arday, Registrar, at registrar@pilchuck.com or 360-445-3111 ext. 29

| ELIZA AU plans to visualize kiln cast works based on baptismal fonts with a CAD program, ultimately combining glass and ice to explore permanence and impermanence. Au is a Canadian artist and received her M.F.A. in Ceramic Art from the New York College of Ceramics at Alfred University. |
| 
| MEGAN BIDDLE will work with multiples to explore small experimental sculptural objects and prints and will take inspiration from the landscape and surrounding flora to create components for a large-scale installation based on natural growth patterns. She was a student at Pilchuck in 2002. |
| 
| LISA DEMAGALL uses dust to create intricate, hand-made lace rug drawings that explore the nature of fragility. Demagall intends to use Pilchuck’s flameworking studio to create large-scale installations mimicking these rugs in glass lace. Demagall earned a B.F.A. from The Ohio State University. |
| 
| MARZENA KRZEMINSKA intends to create shapes built from smaller components that have been surface etched, acquainted or screen-printed. Krzeminska currently serves on the faculty of the Ceramic and Glass Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland, and pursuing a PhD. |
| 
| KEUNAE SONG, an M.F.A. graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, seeks to explore glass as an optical device, examining the mechanics of generating perceptual phenomena to offer the viewer new ways of seeing. Song attended Pilchuck as a student in 2007 and 2010. |
| 
| ABI SPRING is developing a dialogue between her visual art, music, contemporary craft and the written word in kiln formed panels of subtle color and imagery. Spring is a 2010 graduate of the Australian National University’s Master’s of Visual Studies in Glass and her work was recently shown at Bullseye Gallery in Portland, also her hometown. |
