Artist and Maker Studios
The Margate School believes that artists’ studios thrive when there is a good mix of artistic practices. We try to achieve this mix by welcoming all types of creative practitioners. By becoming a studio resident you will become part of TMS's community, where we encourage collective learning, sustainable practices, and peer support.
Our studios, workspaces, equipment and facilities are across three floors, and spaces vary in size and price, dependant on several factors, including footprint, seclusion and layout.
Free technical assistance is available on our FabLab facilities and inductions onto equipment can be arranged with our Knowledge Exchange and FabLab Coordinator.
We hold regular group inductions on all our equipment, monthly community lunches and are open to community-led ideas to encourage a proactive and friendly environment for learning and conversation.
Studio residents also benefit from discounted access to our short courses, workshops and venue hire—alongside discounts from local businesses.
