In 2026, Public Ceramics expanded its programming to include a Winter Praxis session. The Praxis fellowship allows one former PCF fellow to further refine and develop their practice via a 4-month membership at Gasworks NYC. 

The Praxis Fellow has the opportunity to present their work in the Gasworks window at the end of their fellowship, accompanied by an artist talk.

Applications for the Winter 2027 Praxis (January 4-April 30, 2027) will be announced soon.
