📢Annual Open Studios Weekend

You are warmly invited to join us for a weekend of exploration with friends, family, and fellow creatives. Discover the extraordinarily diverse range of workspaces that make up the Foundry and Foreshore studio communities.
This is a unique yearly opportunity to meet over 120 creative practitioners working across more than 30 disciplines, including: Architecture • Book Making • Ceramics • Costume Design • Drawing • Embroidery • Fashion • Film • Fine Art • Graphic Design • Illustration • Moving Image • Painting • Pattern Cutting • Performance • Photography • Quilt Making • Screen Printing • Sculpture • Set Design • Sound Design • Textile Dyeing • Theatre Design • Woodworking
Come explore, be inspired, and see creativity in action.
Full member directories are available on our website, — plan your route and make sure you don’t miss the chance to discover a new favourite artist or maker.
Join us on Instagram as we spotlight our artists and share behind‑the‑scenes glimpses ahead of Open Studios:

Both locations are just a 15‑minute walk apart. Many artists will have commission‑free work for sale — ideal for a unique piece, a thoughtful gift, or an addition to your art collection.
Collectors, gallerists, and curators are especially encouraged to visit. With so many practitioners opening their doors, it’s an ideal opportunity to discover emerging talent, connect with established artists, and explore new work in an informal, studio‑based setting.
SFSA warmly welcomes our Deptford Foundry and Hyde Housing (Foreshore) residents, along with everyone in the wider community who passes the two projects each day — whether walking, running, cycling, or simply exploring the area.
From the whole Foundry and Foreshore studio communities, we look forward to seeing you and sharing our work with you!
