The residency will take place at Aercwel Mill, a creative centre situated in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Aercwel Mill offers a nurturing environment for artists and makers seeking to create meaningful and transformative work. The site, built on principles of community, shared practice, and focussed research, comprises a red sandstone cottage, a former fulling mill building, two ruins, and nearly an acre of land. The surrounding forests provide spaces for reflection, personal dreaming, and idea development, making it an ideal location to create a nurtured space for creative work.

A curated residency in collaboration with us means that we work closely with you to tailor the residency experience to your specific needs and artistic goals.

The costs for the solo residency vary based on the duration, season and your specific needs. Please contact us for more information.

While we are working to establish funding for bursary places, they are not currently available. However, we offer an opportunity for solo residencies to happen partially through exchange, with artists in residency working alongside us to develop the Aercwel Mill site. These exchanges involve working on the land and in exchange receiving access to the studio space alongside creative mentorship.
