Apply Now for 2022
Artist in Residency - Bundanon

Applications closing soon - 6th June 2022 


The Bundanon Trust in partnership with JMGA NSW have established an annual award for a residency at Bundanon in the Dwyer Smithing Studio. Applicants who have successfully applied and been accepted by the Bundanon Trust and who are current members of
​JMGA-NSW are eligible. 

Dorothy Dwyer was a long time member of JMGA NSW and an accomplished silversmith and jeweller. Her family, Mikala and Stepanie Dwyer, donated all her studio tools and equipment to Bundanon Trust who in turn made available a space to establish a specialised studio. The studio has all the basic necessities, hand tools,  soldering, polishing, dust and fume extraction and an excellent selection of stakes. The studio is about the size of a single garage and was originally part of the machinery shed at Bundanon. Adjoining the smithing studio is a dance studio. Accommodation is in one of the apartments or cottages nearby. 
  
Previous recipients have been Erin Pearce and Kirsten Haydon.
