Retreating from the world to connect with your artistry
Creative Space
We want the house and grounds to be a living breathing legacy of those who have stayed. Artists have their rooms, a garage, an art barn, a yoga shala, a shepherds hut and a hidden hermitage for inside space. But the real draw is the 22 acres of fields, woodlands and gardens to discover and use as your canvas.
Nestle into the earth, calm your thoughts and be guided by the elements surrounding you to produce your artwork.
This isn’t a residency for those looking for white walls and a set space to work. It is up to you to form your own space to create your work. With this in mind we don’t offer pre-prescribe work spaces, we ask that you let us know the kind of space(s) you will need in your application. We encourage individuals to be guided by their intuition on arrival which may mean you share the space you end up working in (the art barn for instance).
Paint the walls and trees, carve your mark on the land, leave a mural; be courageous with the scope.
