The studio is a hub of activity during the winter months hosting weekly workshops and tutorials, and is also the home of the Studio Gallery.
The studio is not rented out to non-members.

Studio members can book timeslots through the online booking system. You are requested to book no more than two timeslots at a time and you are not allowed to have more than two active bookings in the same two week period.
