Room & Board

Please select your preferred housing from the following options.

All rooms are furnished with 2 twin beds, but if you are assigned a single occupancy room, you will not have a roommate. Watershed provides pillows and mattress pads, but we ask that you bring a sheet set, pillow case, and blankets.
Bathroom facilities have locks on the doors and can be used by one individual at a time, much like a bathroom in a home. Watershed does not segregate bathroom use by gender.

NOTE: If you select a double occupancy room with private bathroom, then you will share your bathroom with only your roommate. Single occupancy rooms and private bathrooms are limited, so your preferred selection may not be available.

Double occupancy room with shared bathroom: $800 per person

Single occupancy room with shared bathroom: $1,200

Double occupancy room with private bathroom: $1,400 per person

I am interested in attending the residency regardless of housing assignment.

Health & Safety Guidelines*

In 2023, Watershed was forced to cancel a residency mid-session due to a majority of artists contracting Covid-19. We cannot predict what health and safety measures will be in place for 2026 residencies and Watershed reserves the right to adjust policies and protocols. We ask that you read and familiarize yourself with our most recent policies before submitting your non-refundable deposit.

Read the Guidelines here.

Please read Watershed's Liability Waiver, and check the box below to indicate your voluntary agreement. If you have any questions regarding the Liability Waiver, you may email Watershed's Executive Director at director@watershedceramics.org.

$200 Non-Refundable Residency Deposit*

Your non-refundable residency deposit is due upon registration. The deposit is NOT an additional fee and is applied to the balance of your residency and housing fees. Watershed will invoice you for the first half of the residency and housing fee balance in April.
