Ignite Ceramics
Launching Soon
Ignite Ceramics will be a six wheel throwing studio and kiln firing facility, operated by the Northern Rivers Community Gallery (NRCG) & Ignite Studios, to provide affordable and accessible creative spaces and activities for the community.
We are located in the heritage-listed old fire station at 60 Crane Street, adjacent to NRCG and the Ballina Gallery Cafe, in the heart of Ballina. A new service for the Ballina Shire's creative community, the facility is designed to be used independently by approved artists and community members.
To hear about the launch of Ignite Ceramics and upcoming workshops and opportunities, sign up to our eNews and connect with us on social media.

Artist in Residence Program
The Ignite Studios Artist Residency provides a single artist time and space to expand on their artistic practice. Residencies may be between 2 – 8 weeks duration depending on the needs and practice of the artist and their proposed residency.
The program is open to emerging and established Australian and international creatives from a range of disciplines, including visual art, design, writing, theatre, film, music, dance and performance.
In some cases NRCG may work with the resident artist to deliver an exhibition or public program outcome towards the end of the residency, such as a talk, workshop, open studio, or pop-up exhibition. This is an invitation, not a requirement of the residency, and does not impact selection.
Upon completion of the residency artists will be asked to provide a selection of high quality images of their work and/or process during the residency, and a written testimonial about their experience for use by NRCG and Ballina Shire Council.
Occasionally funded or subsidised residency opportunities may arise.
Make sure to sign-up to our E-News and social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram to be kept up to date on all of our programs.
