RETREATS
-
Your Auto Amor retreat takes place at The Quadrangle in Shoreham, Kent — a rural creative campus just 40 minutes from London, home to the Auto Amor Studio, the Forest Garden, and a collection of unique spaces.
Across three dedicated studio days, you’ll have uninterrupted time to develop new work, experiment with materials, and immerse yourself in making.
Every package includes:
• Three days of access to the Auto Amor Studio
• Use of studio tools, equipment and pay-as-you-go materials
• Auto Amor Artist Board(s) for your project
• Optional technical support from Tom & Miya
The exact daily working rhythm varies slightly depending on which accommodation you choose — see options below.
-
Each retreat includes two nights of accommodation on site at The Quadrangle, giving you the space to switch off from daily life and fully drop into your project.
Different packages offer different sleeping setups — from the Airstream and River Hut for pairs, to the Granary and Shepherds Barn for groups.
All options include access to:
• Self-catering facilities (Forest Kitchen / Horse Box)
• Showers & bathroom spaces
• The surrounding woodland, riverbank and gardens
Facilities, layouts and sleeping arrangements vary per accommodation — click “Learn More” under each retreat to see specifics.
-
Every Auto Amor retreat concludes with a final presentation or exhibition of the work you created during your stay. This gives you:
• Visibility
• Documentation
• A clear outcome from your time at Auto Amor
• A professional listing on Artsy (digital or physical depending on package)
Because each accommodation offers different spaces, the format of the final show changes:
• Estate / Barn packages:
A full pop-up exhibition in the Big Barn or Shepherds Barn, photographed and documented.
• Granary package:
A digital exhibition (“Artsy Show”) featuring the work created by your group.
• Airstream / River Hut packages:
A simpler studio-based or digital presentation, ideal for pairs or smaller groups.
• 1 Artist + Studio (no accommodation):
A studio presentation and Artsy listing of the final work.
