About the space
Our workshops take place either upstairs mezzanine or our downstairs studio, which offers step-free access. (Double check when booking) Led by our talented community of local artists and tutors, each session includes all the materials you’ll need - though you’re welcome to bring your own if there’s something special you’d like to use.
We have a range of seating options to keep you comfortable, including high workbenches with stools, standard tables and chairs, and easels.
Tea and coffee are available at every workshop, and you’re welcome to BYOB. Toilets are located on the ground floor.
Studio Sherborne is set in a characterful old industrial unit. While we’ll do our best to keep things cosy, the space can be a little chilly at times—so we recommend bringing an extra layer or two to stay warm and comfortable.
