The International Ceramics Studio has been selected as one of the recipient centres for the NCECA Artist in Residency sponsored scheme. NCECA (National Association for Education in the Ceramic Arts), perhaps the world's largest ceramic association will be sending two resident artists to work at the ICS in 2004. Visit the NCECA website.

They are also associated with the US based Lighton Foundation who will be sponsoring two artists in residence each year for the next three years.

The ICS is a ceramic art centre located eighty kilometres south of the Hungarian capital, Budapest. The centre was created over 25 years ago on the initiative of Hungarian artists who had felt culturally and ideologically isolated by the political system of that time. It was the wish for freedom and the desire to work alongside international artists that led to the founding of the centre. Since its establishment it has welcomed over 350 artists from all corners of the world, and boasts an impressive collection of over 3000 works of contemporary ceramics in its recently opened museum.

The mission of the studio is to promote the formal, aesthetic and technical development of ceramics and to help foster creative skills. The studio is open to all challenges of ceramic research, design and experiment. With this in mind the ICS offers modern facilities and kilns, ample studio space and technical support.

The International Ceramics Studio is a non-profit making organisation patially funded by the town and county councils.

The event, which began in 1995, is sponsored by the Wood Turning Center, and has a profound international effect on the art and craft of lathe-turning.

Other supporters include:
The Windgate Charitable Foundation
