What Benefits Would I Get from the Space?

These pop-up spaces are ideal for artists who are keen to launch their creative ideas and ventures. Utilising our visitors and public footfall, we can offer high exposure to artisans to showcase and sell their craft and products. This will also give artists a platform to test public reaction to their craft.

Is There a Charge for The Spaces?

These spaces will be provided completely free of charge. They are specifically designed to be a launchpad for your craft and therefore each artist will have their space for a pre-agreed amount of time, after which any further time will be on a review basis. We would ask that all artists are present and working in their spaces during our opening hours as our visitors love to see artisans at work as part of the British Ironworks Centre experience. This will also help artisans to maximise the public footfall coming through our centre. We would also ask that you utilise social media and engage with us through social media to even further maximise your exposure.

Who Can Apply?

We would love to work with artisans from all creative areas! Some examples could be glass blowers, sculptors, taxidermists, jewellery makers, face painters – just get in touch with us if you would like to check if your craft fits. We have even had the pop-up studios used in the past for falconry and reptiles!

How Do I Apply?

If you would be interested in using one of our pop-up studios, please contact us via email at info@britishironworkcentre.co.uk. In your email, please provide a bit of detail about your craft and what you do, where you are based, and if you require any specific facilities (outdoor space, tables etc). Spaces are provided on a first-come-first-serve basis and it would be great to meet you beforehand to discuss your craft further.
