For text-based artists – singers, writers, zine/artist book makers, embroiderers, vocal artists, and anyone else who plays with words – with a work in progress, who would benefit from time out of the usual routine, to spend time alone and with others on a similar path.

This space will support the building of the worlds in our work; future worlds through our work; and a temporary world over the week.

This is not a taught course. It is a holding space for exploration, sharing and connection. It is a place to be safe to concentrate on, and expand our faith in, our work, individually and collectively.

Dates: Monday 5th – Saturday 10th January 2026
