Spode Works Studios is based within part of the historic Spode ceramics factory. The building was converted by ACAVA in 2018 into 43 artist studios, alongside an exhibition space and facilities for professional development, in partnership with Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Arts Council England.

The studios support a working community of artists and makers and host the ACAVA Hosts: Three Counties Open Residency, providing studio space and development opportunities for artists connected to Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Shropshire. Studio sizes across the building range from 100 to 500 sq. ft.

Additional facilities include a gallery space available for hire, used for exhibitions, events, and markets. The site is connected to local cultural organisations including B arts, Spode Rose Garden, The British Ceramics Biennial, Festival Stoke, and The Spode Museum Trust.

Spode Works Studios is located approximately a 10-minute walk from Stoke-on-Trent train station, providing straightforward access for studio holders and visitors.
