Manor Oaks Studios
Soon to be complete
Our brand new eco-designed studios at Manor Oaks in Sheffield, built in partnership with Green Estate, are still on course for completion later this month.
The artists selected for these studios are furniture maker Finnbar Lucas, ceramicst Susan Disley and jeweller Annette Petch. We are currently inviting applications from early career ceramicists for our the start up studio (studio 4). See Starter Studio Programme information on this page.
We have been working in close partnership with Green Estate who have developed this site over the last 10 years. Situated in close proximity of Sheffield City Centre, this former Tudor estate and deer park now houses an educational facility, with a brand new farm shop and cafe.
We also heard the good news that Green Estate has been successful in their funding bid to turn the adjacent barn into a heritage skills centre scheduled to open in Summer 2011. With an award winning eco-Chelsea Garden from 2009 being installed later this year, this site will no doubt, be a wonderful place to work.

Update
All is still well at Manor Oaks. At the Manor Oaks Discovery Centre’s Christmas Fair on Sunday 13th December ceramicist Penny Withers was busy with the ‘make-your-own-clay-castle’ workshop, amongst other workshops and metal casting demonstrations.
The studios are also developing swiftly with the first walls going up and doorways being put in. We took some ceramicists down to Manor Oaks in December to meet Sue France, the Director of Green Estate to talk about the possibility of having a wood fired kiln on the site and we’ll keep you informed of the progress on these talks in future newsletters.
