Makers in Residency 2027

We developed new self-funded residency programme Makers in Residency 2027 in response to strong interest from makers and creatives who have received a Culture Moves Europe grant. The programme offers a residency opportunity to those we cannot accommodate through our existing programmes due to limited availability.

During their stay, residents will have the opportunity to work in selected production labs, with access to professional mentorship, technical training and Center Rog's interdisciplinary creative community.

Whether you're developing a prototype, exploring a new material, learning a production technique or advancing an existing project, this residency offers you the space, tools and technical support to focus on your practice.

Who can apply?

We welcome applications from makers, designers, craftspeople and creative practitioners working across disciplines, including product and industrial design, fabrication, textiles and fashion, woodworking, metalworking, glass, ceramics, jewellery, digital fabrication, electronics, biomaterials and culinary innovation.

We particularly encourage applications from emerging practitioners who:

• Have an active creative or making practice, demonstrated through previous work and projects.
• Can clearly articulate their motivation and objectives for the residency.
• Wish to develop their skills, experiment with new processes or advance a specific project.

What do we offer?

Selected residents will have access to Center Rog's creative infrastructure and professional support through a weekly residency package, which includes:

• Accommodation: Seven nights in one of Center Rog's residential apartments.
• Production facilities: A minimum of 30 hours of access per week to selected production labs relevant to the resident's proposed project.
• Professional mentorship: Two hours of individual mentoring per week with Center Rog's lab managers or mentors.
• Technical training: Two introductory training sessions to support independent use of selected production equipment.
• Membership and access: Center Rog membership and a weekly user package for the duration of the residency.
