Opening Summer 2026: Spitfire Artist Residency in Southern Sweden

The first residency will be open for women who need space for creating, researching or experimenting in their creative process in a safe and supportive environment. This residency is especially suitable for mediums in sculpture, and residents will have access to a well-equipped metal workshop and woodworking shop in addition to their own work space.

More information coming soon.

Christina has been teaching Women’s Welding Workshops since 1996 in Taos, New Mexico. She discovered that these workshops are an important avenue for women to get into a shop environment and that creating out of metal is often an empowering and transformative experience. She has been facilitating national workshops as week-long retreats since 2000 and continues to hold local classes for women, men and young adults. She has taught Women’s Welding Workshops in Tucson, Arizona as well as welding and forging at Vista Grande High School in Taos, UNM Taos, and The Crucible in San Francisco. She is now teaching at KKV Monumental in Malmö, Sweden as well at her second metalworkshop and forge in Sweden. Teaching welding and de-mystifying metal is one of her passions.
