We are pleased to invite applications for the Monsoon Artist Residency Program at Dharamkot Studio, located in the peaceful Himalayan mountains. This residency offers artists and creatives across all fields an opportunity to focus on their practice in an inspiring, secluded environment.

Dates: 20-25 September 2025 | Level: Intermediate/Advanced

The art of silkscreen printing on clay led by Danish ceramicist Helene Søs Schjødt is a unique blend of art and craft . In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the fascinating process of silkscreen printing on clay—an exciting technique that blends printmaking with ceramics.

Dates– 7 – 12 Nov, 2025 | Level: Intermediate/Advanced

This workshop is designed to be a crash course in clay and creativity! The workshop alternates between demonstrations and modules that help explore the nature of clay as a material, and free-wheeling exercises that jump straight to individual creative expression.

Reconnect with the earth and yourself. Our upcoming retreats offer experiences in the peaceful landscapes of Dharamkot, designed to nourish both skill and spirit.

From daily workshops at our Studio-2 that hone specific techniques to extended retreats fostering deep creative growth, our programs are tailored to inspire.

Refine your skills under the guidance of two gurus, exploring the delicate balance between artistic expression and functional design. The workshop includes making sculptures, using various hand-building techniques and other creative tools (such as 2D tracing and collage) and learning how to reflect and apply creative thinking.

Last year, Jakub Biewald graced our studio, leaving behind sculptures that defy simple description. His work, a dialogue between form and void, invites contemplation beyond the tangible.

Jakub’s stay not only enriched our studio with physical works but also left an indelible mark on our creative ethos.
