Medalta International Artists in Residence (MIAIR) |
 |
|
The MIAIR Program is designed to serve artists at all stages of their
career. Students and artists at all stages of their career are able to
pursue their artistic investigations together in our spacious
semi-private studios. The residency experience is one of cooperation and
creativity. This collaborative spirit extends beyond the studio and
spills over into the community in the form public events, sales,
classes, and special events. Artists also bring their diverse cultural
experiences, specialized technical abilities, educational backgrounds,
and most importantly an endless variety of definitions of what a ceramic
art practice can be. |

Historic Clay District |
|
 |
|
Set
against the dramatic cliffs of the South Saskatchewan River in Medicine Hat,
Alberta, the 150 acre Historic Clay District was once home to some of Canada’s
most important clay factories, including Medalta Potteries, Hycroft China,
National Porcelain and Alberta Clay Products. Today, this history is being
preserved with the unique Medalta Potteries National Historic Site, providing
the setting for a living, working museum. |
