About
Artist Lydia Brockless and her partner Ed have spent over a year working to turn a derelict stable into what they are describing as a creative studio and project space. It's still very rough round the edges, but it's now a functioning workspace with insulation, double glazing and off-grid solar energy supply.
We hope this small space will be used for a great many different things in the coming years, and be moulded by the people who visit and use it. It sits on a hill overlooking Hadrian's Wall, and has a pub right next door - so it's well placed in many ways!
We’re celebrating this occasion with a display of some of Lydia's work, and opportunities to visit, chat, eat, drink, and make:
The Studio will be open 10-4 Thursday 18th - Sunday 21st April
There will be a late opening on Friday 19th until 8pm with some beer kindly sponsored by the Twice Brewed Brewing Co., some homemade food and a bonfire if the weather allows
Anyone can drop-in for a free collage & paper weaving workshop 12-4pm on Saturday, all ages welcome!
