Your attention is valuable. We look to steer as much of it as possible towards applying the knowledge you are accessing at Rowden.
Distraction is the default in the modern world. To stay focused takes discipline, and demands a concerted effort. We do everything we can to support this. We intend to provide an environment that amplifies the signal and cuts out the noise, limiting short-term distraction in place of considered effort and pursuit of practised skill.
Being a craftsperson is not a picture at the bench or showing up with the right tools; it is about applying your full attention with purpose, towards your pursuit. It is pushing your abilities repeatedly; day in, day out. It is critical to centre, not on short term rewards, but long term intentions.
Rowden Atelier sets each student on a path. We provide the abilities, expertise, and framework, so each can define where that path takes them and crucially, that they have the best possible chance of succeeding.
