THE STUDIO is a creative space focused on art and design located in Greater Manchester.

Founded by Annie Keki in 2001, THE STUDIO was created to provide studio space for her own practice. 

There are many reasons to share creative practices and over decades collaboration has been key to not only motivation but enjoyment. Laughter is a feature of the studio; it is never better than when filled with creative people with a shared purpose. Young and emerging artists and creatives have been a welcome addition to the studio over many years and we continue to welcome and inspire the next generation who will design and build the environment we all inhabit.

We also offer workshops and courses, although these are limited because we are usually busy enjoying our own practice.

The studio is available to hire by the day, this gives you independent use of the studio and all the facilities (providing you are experienced in using industrial machinery). Please contact us for availability and to book. There will be someone present to assist, if needed. Depending on your intended use it may be necessary to complete a risk assessment at the time of booking.

Once your booking is confirmed you will be sent an invoice which needs to be paid in full ahead of time. There is ample parking on site and the studio is on Level 3 of a converted textile mill, there are no internal lifts, so you will need to be able to access the studio via stairs, we are sorry there is no wheelchair access.
