TEACHING SPACE HIRE
Are you a teacher or educator but you don’t have a space to share your knowledge? We are offering both our jewellery space and our larger ‘pod’ space for professionals to hire to host their classes in. So far we have played host to ceramics, assorted textiles classes, with more to come! The rooms aren’t available constantly; they are offered to the resident artists first. To find out more about the hiring process, please email us at info@thecolourfactory.org.uk
HOT DESKING
Do you work on a small scale and need a change of scenery every so often? Book yourself in for a little spot of hot desking at The Colour Factory. We have multiple spaces that you can make use of depending on the day-to-day events taking place. If you’re interested, be sure to get in touch via info@thecolourfactory.org.uk to find out more.
WORK WITH US
Beyond the workshops and community projects, there are lots of other ways of working with us.
UNIVERSITY/GRADUATE WORK EXPERIENCE
Being an entirely self-run organisation, there is always a lot to do. Throughout 2024 and 2025, we will have a selection of university students working with us to gain my experience in the field and for university projects. These enthusiastic folks have and will take on a number of tasks including redesigning our postcards, taking photographs in and around the studios and workshops, rebuilding our website, social media and more! We don’t currently have the capacity to take on anyone younger than university/graduate age, but if the criteria fits, and you’d like to work with us. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll let you know if we have anything that you can assist with: info@thecolourfactory.org.uk
STUDIO SPACE HIRE
Our current selection of resident artists are here to stay, but if you’d like to be contacted if a studio space comes up, please let us know by contacting us on info@thecolourfactory.org.uk and we shall put you on the waiting list.
HOT BENCHING
Are you a jeweller/metalsmith in need of additional tools or access to a bigger workshop? Are you a recent graduate or in a transition period finding yourself without a studio? You can rent one of our bench spaces on our non-teaching days and use our equipment. If you’d like to find out more, be sure to get in touch via info@thecolourfactory.org.uk
