Boost your creative practice in 2022 with a Do It Yourself Residency!
Residencies can be hard to jump into. They may require travel, perhaps requesting time off from work, or scheduling child care. Sometimes the cost of getting to a residency is forbidding. And a lot of residencies are not equipped for artists working in glass.
What if I told you you CAN do a residency without having to worry about costs, travel, or childcare?
Yes, You Can!
Grab your calendar and block out this upcoming long weekend where you will work out of your own home studio, whether that’s a kitchen table, spare room, garage, man-cave or she-shed, while enjoying the networking benefits of an in-person residency.
We will connect through Zoom, with check-ins, motivations, cheerleading… and a special bonus during our residency, expert presentations to fuel your art business/practice. Zoom gatherings will last 60-90 minutes depending on the need of the group.
Don’t worry, if you’re not a morning person, or just can’t pull yourself away from the glass, all of our gatherings will be available on replay.
Join fellow glass artists February 2-6, 2022 for our very own DIY Virtual Residency.
Just $45 to reserve your space in the DIY Residency, which includes all of the Zoom sessions, replay links and a printable PDF Guide!
DIY Glass Artist Virtual Residency Schedule
Most days have two scheduled Zoom calls. Morning calls are meant to help kick-start your day. At the end of each nightly (or afternoon) call, we will end with open conversation and perhaps some problem solving so you can sleep better.
All times are listed as CDT/Chicago Time Zone (GMT-5)
Gatherings will last ~an hour, maybe a little longer. I want to make sure you have plenty of studio time.
