Watershed Firing Workshops
Watershed has two wood kilns, one soda/salt kiln, and a propane fired gas kiln that provides the foundation for several community firing workshops each year.
Studio Rental at Watershed
From May - August, Watershed rents studio space to the community. This is an amazing opportunity for those of you who have some experience in clay and would like space, materials, kilns, and a supportive community with which to work. Those interested should contact the office regarding rates and availability.

Mudmobile
The Mudmobile is a traveling ceramics resource center in a van.
It allows Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts to bring clay
art education to diverse sites and populations throughout Maine
such as community and cultural centers, social service shelters,
senior programs, and schools both public and private. The van
is used to transport clay, tools, glazes, reference materials,
and provides everything needed to a host site for clay workshops
and brings work back to Watershed for firing. The Mudmobile is
staffed by artists with advanced degrees and years of practice
in the ceramic arts as well as experience teaching adults and
children. If you would like to know more about becoming a Mudmobile
host site, or if you would like to join our corporate and foundation
sponsors in supporting the work of the Mudmobile, contact Watershed
at: info@watershedceramics.org or call 207.882.6075.
Common
Ground Fair : Sept.
23-25, 2011
Every year you can find the Watershed Mudmobile at the Maine Organic
Farmers & Gardeners Common Ground Country Fair. Here you can see
people working with clay or work with it yourself either on the
potter's wheel or at table filled with fun tools. Staff and Fall
residents are there to answer questions about Watershed and demonstrate.
The clay available to work with is Watershed's native Maine earthenware
clay. Stop by to see us!
