  Descripción

  hello,
  We are a family of 4, Christ, Martha, Rosie 14 and Marieke 12, living in the Nort West of Ireland.
  The surrounding of Sligo with pictoresque hills, green valleys and the atlantic coast, with beautifull sandy beaches is all on our door step. Christ and Martha are originally from Holland and have been living, building up their cottage and studio and set up their own small bussineses over the last 16 years.
  Martha is an artist and works in her studio, running classes and creating art work with recycled rubber.
  Christ is and engineer, working on environmental projects about wast water treatment.
  As a couple and family we are building on a sustainable way of living. We have a dog and a cat. we are planning to build a polytunnel this year to grow vegetables, hold sheep and get chickens this year.
  Our house is a cottage with a extension, there is a studio and a big work shed. We have 4 acres of land with young planted trees, creating a biodiversity site.
  In the studio is space to work for an artist in residence.
  Our 2 daughters are going to school and are sometimes helping with projects around the house.

  Algo más...

  The area we live is rural and quiet. The Studio is available to work and create/ artist in residence might sound a nice option.
  The closest public transport is 20 minutes walk. A bus going only twice a day. It would be good to have your own transport. We could also occasional offer our car.
  our area is great for hill walking, beaches, sea activities and any other outdoor activities. We do a lot of cycling and have plenty of bikes available. Sligo is 45minutes cycling. Strandhill beach is 1 hour cylcing.
