We have just 3 months left of 2027 fully open for our heritage craft residency programme.

If you’ve been watching this year’s students and thinking ‘I wish I could do that’ don’t wait. We’ve had to say no to people this year (and we hate doing that!) because we just couldn’t fit them in.

Spaces are limited for good reason, we want you to have the full immersive experience & have plenty of time with your tutors to develop your craft skills - we also have limited accommodation on site. We used to be able to take short notice spontaneous bookings but our diary just doesn’t look that way anymore.

If you want to join us in 2027 get in touch today [email protected]
