Springboard Studios

Closing date 6 January 2025

We are offering free studios to emerging makers to be used for a period of 12 months. To be eligible, we ask that you are under 30 years of age at the time of application and have completed three years of post-study practice or equivalent experience.

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.

We have a Springboard Studios Information Pack and the link to apply on our website at https://www.hugoburgefoundation.org/springboard-studios
