We are a studio group of eight artists/crafters, living and working in the Retford area. Our studios are on the second floor of the Retford Arts Hub, in a beautiful Georgian building with a sweeping stair case as a central feature.
We have been residents for between six years and a few months. Our ages range between those in their 20’s and those in their 60’s. An eclectic mix of talents and experience. It is great to work alongside different artists and bounce creative ideas around. Supporting and encouraging each other. Our studios have amazing views over the roof tops and alley ways of Retford. Our work will be on display throughout the building and visitors are always welcome.
Retford Arts Hub is a community interest company, providing support for local artists and crafters as well as running workshops and exhibitions for local people. We are entirely run by a magnificent group of volunteers. We have a ground floor Retail shop selling art and craft items made by local artisans. There is a small cafe where refreshments can be enjoyed. We have two Galleries on the first floor and seven artist studios on the second floor (accessible by a magnificent curved staircase.)
