As with the rest of Cobalt we are building it ourselves from many recycled materials and progress is slow!
It’s going to offer between 10 & 14 studios specifically for designers and makers with products to sell directly to the public form the container studios. We envisage a very animated space at weekends and would therefore look for some commitment from studios holders to be open for a good amount of weekends.
We are fully licensed so there will be a food and drink offer and occasional larger events such as market and workshop days!
Our final phase will be to build and create ‘The Peoples Art Room’ which will be a dedicated space for communal art workshops and learning and a home for our Risograph press.
We still need to secure more funding for all of this and we don’t expect the studios to be ready for a little while longer…
