A two-week art residency structured to encourage personal growth for artists working in any discipline and at all stages of their artist journey. With the freedom to work individually as well as participate in group activities to encourage new forms of self-expression.

With moments to pause, write, read, rest by the pool and time to explore the local area filled with historical treasures in the rich cultural towns of Volterra and San Gimignano.

The residency aims to be a creative incubator where ideas and conversations are key to personal development, there is no pressure to produce or perform.

The length of the residency allows you time to settle in the studio, get to know each other and the surrounding area, allowing you to develop your professional creative skills, share experiences and exchange knowledge while receiving mentorship and inner wellbeing.

You will be inspired by the sights, sounds, and scents of the Tuscan scenery, and flavours of the local Tuscan cuisine and wine.

​The day starts with a structured activity to spark your creativity and then you are free to explore your creativity as you wish. With allocated days for trips to places of historical and cultural significance.
Afternoons maybe divided between working at your personal space in the studio or around the grounds, or by the pool before coming together for inspirational, instructional talks in the studio over a glass of wine. Followed by dinner prepared by the agriturismo using organic produce from the farm.

Individual mentorship and personal coaching support is available by appointment throughout the two weeks with mentor Hannah Gauntlett.
