The European Ceramic Work Centre (.ekwc) in \’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, invites visual artists, designers and architects to apply for a residency in 2011 and offers plenty of opportunities for creating new ceramic art, design and architecture.
Ceramics is a medium in which new possibilities are continually being discovered. The .ekwc, directed by Mr. Ranti Tjan, is an international workshop where international artists, designers, architects and staff members explore the artistic and technical possibilities of ceramics as a medium.
Experiments are being conducted to find new ways of presenting ceramics. The acquired knowledge and experience is being spread nationally as well as internationally. The goal is to encourage the development of ceramic art, design and architecture.
The .ekwc offers participants excellent workspace and living space to enable them to work for three months continuously. A team of specialised employees is ready to guide the participants in their work.
