Independently-funded residencies

Craft Central’s independently-funded residencies programme provides opportunities for those with their own funding to make time and space for research and development; to develop a new body of work or to work towards an exhibition. We welcome individuals and collaborators able to meet the costs of a residency through, for example, their own resources, direct support of academic institutions, public funders or foundations.

Graduate Support

We support up to 3 graduates each year to develop their creative practice in our Graduate Support Programme. We offer free use of a studio for up to a year, a mentor for the duration of the programme, and an exhibition in our gallery space at the end of the programme. The Graduates also benefit from becoming part of a thriving maker community where they can access peer support and skills exchange during their time with us.

Flax Exchange

Flax Exchange is a year-long community project. We are planting, harvesting, spinning, dyeing, designing, weaving, knitting, and crocheting flax; as well as upcycling and reinventing fabrics, making garments and accessories which will be displayed in a finale event with choreographed movement and live soundscape.
