Studio Rental ABOUT STUDIOS AT MUDFLAT: Thirty-eight ceramic artists worked in private or semi-private studios at Mudflat, producing a wide variety of functional and sculptural work. Some studio artists are former students, others are graduates of university degree programs specializing in ceramic arts. One third of them are full-time ceramic artists who exhibit and sell their work locally and nationally. Many have been awarded fellowships and residencies at renowned craft centers – including fellowship awards from the Somerville Arts Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. The interactions between our artists and our students are an important asset and offer sources of artistic and technical information, inspiration and community. In our facility, Mudflat has expanded our studio artist program to include more clay artists in a broader range of studio spaces and at a variety of prices. We now have two types of artist categories: Resident Artists and Associate Artists. Resident Artists are professional clay artists who have the technical skill and experience to fire their own work in the studio kilns. Studios for Resident Artists are private individual spaces or shared studios with one or two additional artists. Monthly rent is $255-$455 per artist, based on studio size. Associate Artists are serious clay students looking for more access, privacy, and shelf space. There are two large group studios of approximately 300 square feet each to be shared by six artists each. These studios are equipped with a shelving unit for each artist plus a central shared work table and shared pottery wheel in each studio room. Associate Artists’ work is fired by Mudflat technicians. Monthly rent is $249 per artist. Both Resident Artists and Associate Artists have 24-hour studio availability, and use of other studio and classroom equipment. The monthly rent does not include clay materials, glazes or firings, which are purchased through Mudflat for additional fees. A committee reviews all applications based on the following criteria: Applicant’s level of professionalism, artistic quality of work, and commitment to the Mudflat community. Please contact the Mudflat office for additional information or to be added to an interest list. For available studio rentals, please visit the opportunities page

Open Studio & Pottery Sales Mudflat's Open Studio and Sales, held every May and December, showcase the ceramic art work of our studio artists, faculty, and students. These events provide an opportunity for friends, family, and the public to visit Mudflat to view an exceptional variety of functional and sculptural claywork. Many of our artists donate pottery and sculpture for a raffle to benefit Mudflat's Scholarship Fund - you select which pieces you'd like to win! Artists also donate one-of-a-kind pots to be sold to benefit Mudflat's fundraising initiatives; 100% of the purchase price of these pottery pieces goes directly to those special funds. Here’s your opportunity to purchase a beautiful handmade work of art and support Mudflat, all at the same time! A portion of the revenues from this sale, as well as the scholarship raffle and fund donations, benefit Mudflat. Admission to these events are free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible. Save the Date! The Mudflat Holiday Open Studio & Sale is happening December 4-13, 2026
