An artist development and rural residency programme
Fieldwork Studio
Fieldwork Studio is a Community Interest Company, we aim to foster understanding and advance education across creative industries and ecology.
Fieldwork Studio is led by Welsh artist and filmmaker Phoebe Davies in partnership with Slade Farm Organics, a three-generation family farm tenancy situated on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. The studio programme spans artist development, rural residencies and community growing.
Fieldwork is artist-led, and centres approaches from organic farming and rural culture to support regenerative practices, rest, care and sustainable working within the arts, ecology and agriculture.
Our roots are at the early stages of growth. The programme is managed alongside Phoebe’s solo work, collaborative practice as Bhebhe&Davies and her caring commitments as she raises two small humans.
The Fieldwork Studio CIC is Directors are; Phoebe Davies (artist), Graeme Wilson (Slade Farm Organics) and Dr Josie D'Urban Jackson (biodiversity researcher).
This artist-led programme has been shaped through research and shared learning from g39, Somerset House Studios, Wysing Arts Centre, Bidston Observatory Artistic Research Centre, Artsadmin, Scottish Sculpture Workshop, The Portland Inn Project and Portland Institute of Contemporary Art.
