Co-op Research

This research done for Union Project in 2005 was initiated to investigate cooperative studio models around the country in order to identify best practices for opening a clay studio at Union Project.

  • Here is an article that was written for Ceramics Monthly that summarizes the research.
  • In 2008 I presented a summary and update of this research at the NCECA conference. This summary was published in the NCECA journal.
