Our residential short courses usually run from Monday to Friday (with a few exceptions). Led by outstanding, extraordinarily creative people many of whom are renowned in their field, these courses are a time to reflect, refresh and re-find your creative core. Aimed not solely at artists, the course is suitable to anyone with an enquiring mind interested in finding creative connections to places, ideas, or the world at large. These courses are not focussed in technique but instead on finding new creative connections and developing your creative voice in your own way. There is plentiful time for personal working, meditation, quietude, and experiment – alone or with others.
Our weekend courses are a little different. These are intensive times to go deep into a philosophical or ‘big’ question. These weekend courses are still very much in development; we hope to offer our first in the spring of 2018.

About art.earth short courses
art.earth residential short courses are designed as intensive periods of work, reflection, quietude, and creative energy. They are not just designed for artists, although creative expression forms an important part of the activity and learning.
We take an inclusive and transformative approach to learning: this is not a hierarchical structure but one of genuine knowledge sharing and with the assumption that everyone in the room has much to learn and much to offer.
We work in the wonderful Ship Studio in Dartington Hall’s medieval courtyard. This space becomes yours for the duration of the course and how it is laid out and how it feels is very much a product of the course and those engaged in it.
