We are offering free studios to emerging makers to be used for a period of 12 months. This opportunity is open to creatives of any age whose career would be positively impacted by this opportunity.

All three studios are warm, spacious and characterful, located in historic buildings set in the beautiful landscape of the Scottish Borders.

The studios themselves are offered free for the duration of the tenancy but do not include accommodation. The HBF can offer affordable accommodation for up to two tenants, if willing to share, at nearby Fogo Cottage.

Springboard tenants will join the larger creative community at the Hugo Burge Foundation, which includes potters, silversmiths, chair-makers, sculptors and artists visiting on our monthly residencies. They are expected to contribute to this community during their time here, participating in Open Studios and social events, and offering talks or workshops where appropriate.

The position also comes with a grant of up to £1,000 to support the purchase of tools and materials.

To learn more, we have created a Springboard Studio Information Packet.
