Expectations
Township10 is envisioned as an intimate space reserved for deep art practice, material exploration, and community building.
We have the highest expectations for the respect, thoughtfulness, and care that guests will bring to this experience. A few things we lay out are:
-
We ask artists to incorporate shared meals and poetry into their stay.
-
We encourage artists to connect with the local community and share their perspective.
-
We select a finished work for our collection.
-
We request a written reflection to be archived for past and future residents.

LEAD Resident & Studio Tech
Bill Jones
Bill Jones is a studio potter. Drawing from the vernacular of traditional functional pottery, his work focuses on the sculptural potential of clay—the intimacy of touch, the expression of line, and energy in form. He grew up in Bucks County, PA, studied architecture and design, and landed squarely in the clay community after a stint as a work/study student at Penland School of Craft. Bill received formal training as a potter in the Cardew-Hewitt lineage, completing a rigorous two-year apprenticeship with artist Daniel Johnston in Seagrove, NC.
