The Experience

We are completely remodelling an old village school into an art residency, which will be part of the nearby Hub Feenix. The school is 500m2 with 10 rooms, of which the lower have had a small fire but upper are livable. We will make new surfaces in the bottom half of the house while you can stay in the quiet, beautiful upstairs, surrounded by nature. We have pro skills to teach, and the place really is an natural gem, for nature lovers.

I really enjoy living and working at the project. Torsten, Raisa and everyone at the Hub makes you feel welcome right away. Torsten is a great teacher: he will properly explain and show you the work, watch you do it once and then let you continue on your own without looking over your shoulder constantly. The hours are as agreed. After work, the Villa is nice and quiet, surrounded by beautiful nature to explore. A nice bonus is sauna night on Wednesdays at the Hub where most volunteers stay. I like it here so much, we agreed I'm staying a little longer.
