Makers & Thinkers Residency Programme
Two week stays for those working in any way that is mindful of the natural world.
Our self-directed makers and thinkers residencies are suitable for anyone seeking the time and space to work independently, on their own projects, sheltered from the distractions and demands of contemporary society.
What we offer is somewhere between a traditional residency and a holiday.
Some use the time to create a new body of work or undertake new research or chose to work on something neglected or not yet formed.
Others wish just to recuperate and reflect in peaceful and traditional surroundings, whilst having free use of the studio.
Residents stay in one of two beautiful self-catered apartments in our seventeenth-century townhouse and work in the adjoining atelier - a former forge steeped in history. (Please look at La Casa section for further details about our space and site.)
