Free Open Studio Sessions at The Vale
Every Wednesday from 1.00pm to 3.00pm, The Vale opens up its studio spaces for artists and creatives to use completely free of charge.
These open sessions are designed to support creative practice in all its forms. Whether you are a sewer looking for access to a machine, a sculptor needing space to spread out, a musician in search of a quiet room to rehearse, or a henna artist wanting somewhere comfortable to practise and develop your work, you are very welcome here.
The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, offering time and space to focus, experiment and make progress on your work. You can work independently, or alongside other creatives, sharing energy, ideas and inspiration in a welcoming environment.
If you would like to use the space, simply get in touch at hello@the-vale.co.uk to let us know what you need the studio for. This helps us make sure the right space, equipment and setup are ready for you when you arrive.
Drop in, settle in, and make The Vale your creative home for the afternoon.
