Re-Opening Statement:
We’re pleased to say that some of our artists are taking first steps to re-open to the public on 15th June. We’ve been working hard to ensure additional safety measures are ready to implement for the protection of artists and visitors alike. These include the following:
-Anti-bacterial hand gel provided.
-The numbers of people allowed in a studio at once will be limited to allow for social distancing. As the studios vary in size, this will differ between studios. Please refer to individual signs at studio entrances.
-Additional cleaning procedures inside studios.
-Some artists may ask customers to place items in bags themselves in order to minimise contact.
-New layouts of some studios that puts more distance between the artist’s workspace and the entrance.
-Customers will be encouraged to make contactless payments.
We’re continually risk assessing the studios and surrounding area, and will respond promptly to any changes in government guidelines. We have suspended all events over the summer, and look forward to resuming our busy creative programme once it’s safe to do so, and look forward to sharing the details of our next digital event. We thank everyone who has supported our studio artists during lockdown, through following on social media or making online purchases. We’re delighted to be welcoming even small numbers of visitors again. For news and updates, stay tuned online.
