Creative Residency

Tuesday 9 - Tuesday 16 June 2026

I’m inviting you to Chateau Dumas for a week of creativity in 2026. The Chateau will be open for a week to anyone who would like to join me in the studio for some self-led creativity. Enjoy complete freedom as you explore your chosen craft at your own pace in my lovely well-equipped and air-conditioned studio. You’ll be able to dabble and experiment to your heart’s content, sharing ideas and skills with other like-minded creatives.

With unlimited access to the studio and equipment – from screens to sewing machines and hot glue guns to hat blocks – you can dip in and out of projects as the mood takes you. You can also take time out to lounge by the pool, relax in the shade with a novel from our library or sketch in the garden.

You’ll enjoy all the benefits of Chateau life from elegant accommodation and delicious food provided by our private chefs to a large salt water pool and beautiful, peaceful surroundings. On Sunday morning we’ll take you to the atmospheric Sunday morning farmer’s market in St Antonin.
