The studio has 52 private and semi-private studios available for rent (from $175-$800 a month). Resident Artists have 24/7 access to the ceramics studio and free parking. Please email studio@amoca.org for more information and current availability.

In 2012, the Artist in Residence program at AMOCA was launched and Bobbie Free from Montana became the inaugural artist-in-residence. From those humble beginnings, artists accepted into the program over the next six years were afforded a semi-private studio space, 24/7 access to studio facilities, and equipment for one to six months. In the fall of 2018, David Armstrong provided the means necessary for a local furnished apartment, within walking distance, to be provided to artists as part of the residency program. In 2019, Laguna Clay (a regional ceramics supply company) became an annual program sponsor and now provides artists a clay stipend. The Windgate Foundation made a significant grant in the spring of 2020 to double the size of the program and underwrite it through 2022. Click here for more information.

If you damage a shelf due to your glazing technique or the construction of your piece you are responsible for replacing with a new shelf.
If you damage a kiln you will be charged accordingly.
