Studios range in size from 100 to 500 sq. ft., most have excellent light, they are open 24/7 and offer workspace for a range of arts, creative and social practices.
Combined with other developments on the site Spode Works is part of an ambitious vision to develop a creative hub that will revitalise the local creative economy.
Building on past High Street Heritage Action Zone projects, ACAVA continues to work in partnership with local cultural organisations: B arts, Spode Rose Garden, The British Ceramics Biennial (BCB) and Festival Stoke.
An emerging new partnership with The Spode Museum Trust, informed by the heritage of the Spode site, aims to involve more local people in arts and culture.
