Residencies
Residencies
Our residencies run in spring and autumn each year. Each residency brings four glass and visual artists, at different stages of their career, to live and work together here for six to eight weeks, or here and another venue for mixed-media partnership residencies. Through collaboration, cross fertilisation of ideas and practice, the residency creates new opportunities for learning, exploration and creative development.
Residents come from the UK and overseas and this international blend of ideas and talent is one of the key strengths of the residencies. Our Alastair Pilkington Studio enables the artists in residence to benefit from a wide range of facilities. Artists often cite their residency as a seminal moment in their work, where the space and time afforded at North Lands Creative Glass has led to a new body of work, or new direction which has significantly influenced their work.
