The studio is well-equipped for ceramic artists. You will want to bring your own clay and glazes though, as there is no ceramic supply store in Lethbridge. There is a Michael's walking distance from Casa, and materials can be purchased at the University Store if needed as well. The community at Casa was fantastic and very welcoming! I loved getting to know all the studio users, and the staff at Casa was incredible as well.
CASA Lethbridge was one of the first residencies I ever applied for. I was blown away by the thriving arts scene in such a small town, as well as the kindness of the people (As a white man.) The facilities at CASA are beautiful. They have all sorts of great equipment should you need it. Because it was one of my first residencies, I didn’t realize they don’t all offer a place to stay. CASA helped me find a place with some incredible people.
