One of the larger of the self-contained 15 studio spaces has now become available to rent. It has a large double glazed opening window, allowing natural light, fluorescent overhead lighting, power points and three phase wiring for a kiln. There is a central exhibition space large enough to display two and three-dimensional work. The studios are secure, with 24 / 7 access and parking. They are within walking distance of bus and train stations.
The share of costs is £90 per calendar month payable by direct debit or standing order and inclusive of all charges save a small token charge made for a kiln firing. This is a long established, stable and welcoming group of artists with a diversity of practices, and the studios are successfully run with the absolute minimum of bureaucracy.

Wanted: artist to deliver paper pulp workshops for primary schools
I am searching for an artist who could deliver some paper pulp workshops for primary schools at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery during the summer term. These half day workshops on 16th, 17th and 18th June, would take the Le Plongeur piece by David Hockney, currently on display, as its inspiration. Other ideas about the park and the rest of the collections could also feed in.We would have a prep/training day with the artist on Monday 15 June during which other education staff would assist in preparation and trying out ideas.
Usual rates of pay apply.
