Red Door Studios is an artist run, community focused space. We offer affordable studios and seek to make occasional collaborations with inspiring people doing interesting things.
We believe working on a grassroots scale is important and valuable, feeling that communities should be led by the people who exist within them. We aim to bring forward less heard voices and open up conversation.
Red Door Studios is a very interesting building which was part of the John Morris Daren Bakery originally and then used by J A Winward & Sons as a laboratory glassware factory. In 2011 the space was taken on by Dolores Maisonneuve and Gordon Haskins who converted the building into the art studios and events space that we now know it as!
The amount of people who have passed through these doors over the years can be felt and observed in the subtle marks left behind. We want to celebrate the importance of noticing and taking care of our old and historic buildings with a particular focus on preventative repair rather than restoration.
