We’re looking for a new studio member!
We’re a shared interdisciplinary studio in The Engine House, part of Islington Mill, Salford a short walk from Manchester City centre. The space is a 1.6 x 1.6m square with the possibility of more storage downstairs in our shared workshop.
If you’re a creative who would appreciate adding a bit of community into their practice (we like to have group exhibitions, food outings and the occasional end of day pint) so if you’re kind, tidy and enjoy the company of others while you make, then let’s talk!
We have fast internet, big windows, nice coffee, access to a Risograph and Laser Cutter. The studio is warm and clean.
You’ll be sharing with, in no particular order- @ellienicolefoster@lauraboast@andreaallan_@drme_studio@jasonedmunds@yayvm@caroline_dowsett@jimograph@textbookstudio & @himhallows
Drop a dm if you’re keen
This month the Engine House Collective turns 10 years and we’re opening the studio on the 23rd and 24th for an exhibition and soiree to celebrate!
The vibe is very much a drop in and hang out for however long you want. Refreshments on arrival for guests and as ever, BYOB if you’re there for a good time. We’ll be in the House from 2pm till late (and might even think about the pub after).
Happy new year from everyone in the Engine House!
We’ve got a couple of exciting events coming up at the start of 2026 so stay tuned!
