Join us in the beauty and peace of Connemara on the west coast of Ireland by applying for an Arts or Rest Residency at The Old Knitting Factory. Paid residencies are open to applications from everyone, not just single parents! Your time here will help support the space’s mission, and I am so grateful.
All residencies include six nights’ stay in The Old Knitting Factory’s lakeside guest space, including a kitchenette, en suite bathroom, living room, and private entrance. Accommodation includes a double-single bunk bed, so there is space for up to three people; the space is designed for a single parent and up to two children, but adults are welcome to share the space as well.
Residencies run from Monday (3 pm check-in) to Sunday (11 am check-out) year-round, beginning in June 2026.
Arts Residencies include two hours of private mentorship with New York Times bestselling author and The Old Knitting Factory founder Betsy Cornwell, and are priced at €1000 plus VAT. Rest Residencies do not include mentorship and are priced at €800 plus VAT.
You can also book accommodation for up to three people in our residency space for €170 per night plus VAT, with a three-night minimum.
Please note that fully funded residencies are open for application only in May, using a separate form. I usually receive over 100 applications for each funded residency I’m able to offer.
If you are interested in funding an Arts Residency or Rest Residency for a single parent, I’d be thrilled to hear from you! You can offer a one-time sponsorship using the form below, or offer monthly or annual support through The Old Knitting Factory’s Patreon page. Go raibh maith agat: thank you so much!
