Technical Education Program A 1-year education program for hands-on ceramic technical skill building, designed for students who are interested in learning more about clays, glazes, kilns, firings, and studio maintenance. The next Tech Ed program will begin in January 2027. Applications are due: September 27, 2026 Open to intermediate to advanced level students, to be selected by application each year, based on interest, availability, and commitment. Prior ceramic technical experience is not required. Time commitment from students is 10 hours/week (spread over 3 days per week) for an entire year. Students must be available during daytime hours, typically between 10 am and 6 pm. Over the course of the year, the weekly schedule will change to accommodate learning different skills and tasks, and to match kiln firing schedules. Only 3-5 students will be selected for the year-long program. During the first semester students will be trained in all aspects of ceramic technical information. Topics include: Clays: clay body materials, clay recycling Slips and glazes: chemistry and mixing/maintaining Kilns: loading, firing, and unloading electric and gas kilns, as well as maintaining the shelves & kiln furniture Studio maintenance: cleaning, clay deliveries, etc. Following completion of the first semester, students will continue working independently as technical staff trainees through the following 2 semesters, with an added focus on training to fire our gas kilns. Gas kiln firings range in length from 8-9 hours for a bisque firing, to 11-13 hours for a glaze firing --students are expected to attend the entire firing. Applicants should be aware that there are physical demands involved in this work, including ability to lift/carry 50 lbs of clay or other materials. Tuition for the first semester is $850.00. Tuition for the second and third semesters is $600.00 each semester. Mudflat will provide additional shelf space and 24 hour access for all 3 semesters to participants. We will only consider applications for this program from people who are able to make a commitment for a full year, and who have flexible availability during daytime work hours. If you are working full-time, this program is not a good fit. However, if you are taking extended time off from your job, or are in between jobs for at least a year and want to work intensely in clay, then do apply - we would love to hear from you!

In the spring of 2020, the Mudflat Board of Directors formed a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility committee to assess our organizational practices, identify areas for improvement, and find ways to implement new initiatives to ensure that we are living our values. The DEIA committee is committed to devoting the time, energy, and resources to examine our implicit biases, and to support racial justice and social equity. Stand with Mudflat Mudflat stands with black communities and communities of color and all those fighting to end racism in overt and covert forms. We strive to create a welcoming environment in our studio and are proud of the inclusive and warm Mudflat community that exists.

We commit ourselves to broadening our audience through continued outreach in East Somerville and Greater Boston, to developing programming alongside artists from marginalized communities, and to foster a space that is inclusive for all. We welcome your input and voice to work with us towards these goals Immediate and long term Goals from The Mudflat DEIA Board Committee: Recognize diversity, equity and inclusion as it connects to Mudflat’s mission. Mudflat will lead with respect and tolerance. Create a Code of Conduct to hold the Mudflat community accountable to these values. We expect everyone to embrace these values and to express them in studio interactions and through everyday practice. Advocate for, support, and seek out learning opportunities at the board-level about how systemic inequities impact our organization’s work, and address it in a way that is consistent with our mission. Acknowledge and dismantle any inequities within our By-Laws, programs, and services. In selecting board and staff members, Mudflat will consider the barriers and factors that often stand in the way of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and people with disabilities entering and thriving in the arts community. Commit time and resources to increase diversity particularly at the leadership level within our board, staff and committees. Develop a system to be more intentional and conscious of bias during the hiring, promotion, or evaluation process. Expand offerings for underrepresented artists. By connecting with other arts organizations committed to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Through scholarship opportunities By offering arts education through more equitable means. The DEI committee will regularly report to the Mudflat community.
