Join us in the countryside of Latvia for a 2 week pottery residency. You will be able to work alongside us in the beautiful pottery studio, situated next to our horse sanctuary "Laimes Zirgi".
Offering for accommodation (private room at our family home) and studio space at our beautiful pottery studio in rural Latvia.
Applications for 2025 are open now.
Availability: September, October, November, December
ACCOMMODATION AND WORKSPACE
Accommodation is at our family home - brick building built in 1878 and freshly renovated in 2021. The second floor is shared between up to 3 guests - it has one twin room with 2 single beds, 1 private small room with single bed. There is shared kitchen and shared bathroom. On the first floor there is 1 large en-suite room with double bed 140cm and it features its own kitchen and private entry. All rooms have bedding, towels, wifi and equipped kitchen.
As this is our family house (we live on the first floor with our 5 cats and dog) we require “quiet” time after 8pm and before 8am. The horses paddock and stable is right in-between our home and the studio.
Studio space at the large light-filled studio just 2min walk away through the garden, working alongside Laima and her assistant Oksana. Studio space is 140m2 open space, with gallery upstairs and extra lounge room (with couch, tea corner and small book library).
AMENITIES included
Shower, washing machine
Refrigerator, electric cooker
Bed linen
Handmade tableware, blender, electric kettle, french press, moka espresso pot
STUDIO SPACE
Studio space is set up with 2 pottery wheels, electric kilns, working table, shelving, sink.
The rent includes daily access to our cozy pottery studio and use of equipment.
Self-catering- means you clean your own space after working. We have high cleanliness standards in the studio so it hoovered and mopped on each work day.
This is suitable for medium to advanced potter/ceramic artist. This is NOT a pottery course! ;) If you are a beginner I suggest you look at my 4-day immersion course instead, it is possible to combine the two offers- doing first the immersion, then extending your stay with this residency option to keep practicing your new found skills.
