Are you a maker looking for studio & retail space?
Studio Spaces Available
A rare opportunity to join Manchester Craft & Design Centre’s community of independent makers, artists and creative businesses in the heart of the Northern Quarter.
For over 40 years, the Centre has been home to jewellers, ceramicists, textile artists, illustrators, designers and other creative practitioners working across a wide range of disciplines. Our studios provide an inspiring environment in which to make, create and grow your practice, surrounded by a supportive network of fellow makers.
We currently have one first-floor studio space available:
Studio 24 (Previous Office)
Approx. 25sqm
Available now
£619/month including service charge and broadband
The space could work brilliantly as a shared studio depending on your practice. Shared between two or three people, the monthly cost becomes significantly more affordable, and we’re very open to conversations around different setups and possibilities.
Interested?
If you’d like to arrange a visit, ask questions, or have an informal chat about the spaces, we’d love to hear from you.
To apply, please send:
A short introduction to yourself or your business
Six images of your work
Email: [email protected]
Not quite ready to take on your own studio?
Studio sharing opportunities are also available. Work alongside our friendly studio holders, build partnerships that suit you both, and gain valuable insight into life as a full-time maker. To enquire about sharing, simply change the email subject to “Studio Sharing Opportunities.”
Please include your CV, six images of your work or a link to your website/ social media and a description of the days you would be able to cover to [email protected].
Emerging Makers and Graduates
Are you a highly skilled maker lacking business experience? Or a new graduate thinking about career options?
Check out how we support emerging makers.
We know that covering one of our maker studios for six days a week can be a little daunting. As a sharer you can work with our studio holders in a partnership that works for everyone. All our sharing works differently based on the needs of makers. Fill in our contact form below to learn more.
