Mudmobile   Click here for Mudmobile Archives Click here for Mudmobile Photos 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. info-at-watershedceramics.org 207.882.6075 Click here for printable mudmobile information.

Some of the year’s accomplishments include a month long collaboration with Mobius in June. Watershed collaborated with Mobius, Inc. on a month long tile project. Mobius, Inc is a non-profit organization providing support services to people with Developmental Disabilities in Lincoln County, Maine. Working at two sites, Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts and the Mobius Community Center in Damariscotta, artist Adero Willard worked with 12 Mobius consumers to create colorful and original tiles that were arranged to form a large community “quilt”. This mosaic was then framed by local wood-worker Robert Leask. This Community Quilt was displayed at Mobius' Annual Dinner in October and will be proudly displayed at the new Damariscotta Bank & Trust building at 619 Main Street, Damariscotta. The Community Quilt will be “traveling” over the next several months to Le Garage in Wiscasset. Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Davis Family Foundation provide support for the Mudmobile program and a second year of Mentorship opportunities with residents and artists. The Mentorship program allows students from regional highschools to work with resident artists from Watershed through demonstrations, slide presentations, and professional coaching. Students and faculty also benefit from artist's visits to the participating schools. Watershed would like to thank Norm's Used Cars Inc. for their support of the Mudmobile program.
