Specialized Residency Retreats

What is it?

Pick something you love. We’ll build a playground around it.

Some people have hobbies. Some people have a thing.
 
Mutual Grounds is for the latter.
 
It is a five-day residency built around one craft, interest, or obsession.
 
We bring together practitioners, emerging talent, and enthusiasts, then take the whole thing somewhere worth being.  
 
Each residency is built with a practitioner from the field, with part learning, making, and living together.
 
A playground for the seriously curious.

What is the Fuss about?

01

Space

We’re particular about where we do this. Properties with character, space to spread out and luxurious corners to disappear into when you need some time with yourself.

02

Shared Interest

The shared craft gets everyone through the door. The friendships, work and conversations happen along the way.

 

03

Mentors

Our mentors are people who actually practise what they teach. You don’t just learn what they know. You get a glimpse into how they think.

04

Creative Collaboration

Collaboration is at the heart of Mutual Grounds. Here, creativity thrives through interaction, as participants from diverse backgrounds come together to create something truly unique. 

Purpose

We don’t think every creative block needs a solution.

Mutual Grounds exists to give your craft a change of scenery. 

Sometimes you need to get out, meet someone interesting, talk about what you make, try something you haven’t tried before, and remember why you liked it in the first place.

A little distance can change the way you look at things.
