A fully-funded residency in a tranquil arts and crafts community set in the Scottish Borders that comes with accommodation, studio space, and a weekly stipend of £350.
Residency Dates: Wed May 7th to Wed June 4th, 2025
This is a residency for any writer of both fiction and nonfiction who considers themselves to be at an early-stage in their career.
The successful applicant will receive private studio space, on-site accommodation in one of our Hobbit Pods, and a weekly stipend of £350.
The writer will be based in our Tower Studio, an atmospheric space that spans two floors and overlooks the Cheviots.
There are no expectations about what you will use the residency for, but we hope the selected artist will conduct at least one public event such as a creative workshop (for adult participants), a talk, demonstration, performance or educational activity.
You will be able to spend time with other artists and makers on site, along with another visiting artist also on residency. Our Creative Director, Dr James Fox will provide mentorship during your stay.
