For the first time since taking over the space, Staffordshire St are delighted to open our doors for the opportunity to meet our studio holders, find out more about their practices and see their work in situ.

​

On Friday 25 and Saturday 26, coinciding with South Bermondsey Art Trail, our doors will be open to visitors, providing a unique opportunity to see our artists and makers in their studios. There’ll also be drinks and tunes at the bar downstairs. 

From 23 - 27 August, studio holders will be hosting a series of events in the main project space, showcasing the diversity of practices working within the Staffordshire St studios. Studio holders are invited to use the space to experiment with new ideas or showcase their work outside of their studio spaces.
