- The studios were created six years ago but have recently been extended and improved and now contain individual and shared studios, which are also open to the public.
- Between us we take commissions, sell our work directly from the studio, run classes and workshops, provide individual tuition and organise outdoor sketching days.
- We have a broad range of techniques and output that visitors will be able to see in the exhibition on the first floor, before climbing our beautiful cantilevered Georgian staircase up to the top floor where our studios are situated.

On the ground floor visitors will find Retford Arts Hub, which sells local produce, books, arts & crafts and who run daytime and evening classes and workshops in the two gallery spaces on the first floor.
