BESPOKE
In addition to our tutored art courses, we develop bespoke projects that respond to the needs of the creative community.
“[time at Coombe] enables many different moments in any creative process - time for reflection and consolidation, time for research, time for re-thinking and clarification, time for visioning and dreaming, time for resting and re-gathering. All of those moments are essential components of making artistic work and are often the moments which are most difficult to fund/afford/make space for, but Coombe supports artists in this unique and un-pressured way. ”
The most invaluable resource to support the process of development is focused time & space together. Coombe is the perfect place for this in terms of its natural environment and its approach towards creating an atmosphere conducive to creativity & collaboration.
—Kate McGrath, Fuel
I feel completely taken care of while working at Coombe, the food, the lush environment, and mostly the helpful and talented people who take care of you. It is a truly special artists refuge.
— Laurie Steen, Artist (RWA)
“Coombe achieves what I consider to be the whole point of the Arts, by encouraging the development of the individual through communication, the fostering of ideas and a shared experience of joy.
— Laurel Keeley, Artist
