We welcome artists and design practitioners to come and work with us on a 1 month residency programme (30 days). We are looking for artists and designers who are makers, working at any level of their career, and are advancing the boundaries of art, design and technology. The residencies will take place at our labs and studios at Frenchay Campus.

As part of each residency, you will deliver a talk or practice-based session to our researchers and postgraduate students. You must be able to confidently present and demonstrate ideas to a cross-disciplinary community and across different audience levels and groups.
