Studio Space at Koru Arts
Koru Arts resident Artist, Jodi, is leaving in October to go travelling and
will then have studio space available to let.
The space measures approximately 3.3 x 4 metres, screened off from a main art display area which is used by all the resident artists to display examples of their
work to visitors.
Koru Arts are a family run business specialising in Glass Art and Portrait Art along with a dedicated teaching area that can seat up to 10 people. This area is available by separate arrangement for Artists to rent the space in order to run their own teaching courses.
Situated in a quiet and peaceful area and adjacent to the studio space is a large glass studio. You will be working in a relaxed and beautifully lit environment, looking out onto private gardens. You will be able to see and experience other artistic activities as there are two other resident artists using the glass studio on a regular basis, along with students and other teachers who hire out the teaching studio from time to time. They are looking for either a professional or semi-professional maker who will fit in with the community feel they are trying to create
Price: £280 per calendar month to include electricity.
Use of the glass studio can be arranged through separate negotiation.
If you would like to come and view, please contact Koru Arts on 07447 406426 or at koruglassdesigns@yahoo.co.uk
