Space overview
An open-plan, homey, bespoke artist's studio warehouse and living space in the inner north suburb of Brunswick East. We host three resident artists, plus studio artists variously using a shared photo studio, printmaker, 3D animator and painters.
This is a large double storey warehouse with high ceilings, good natural light, wooden floors, and brick and partition board walls. Roof has strong beams and there is the ability for someone crafty to build a wooden mezzanine in the studio space for extra storage. Room is on second floor with own stairway entrance. There is some furniture if you need it like a desk, worktable, bookcase, couches and chairs. There are common areas including a lounge/dining room, storage/tool/cleaning space, sunroom, bathroom and shower, laundry facilities and kitchen. Studio is lockable, and front door also remains locked. As there is no soundproofing this will not suit loud industrial work or music. The occasional drill or hammer, or having people over for chats or music to listen to when you work is fine. The photos show a lot of stuff in your space, as I am moving out – this will mostly be gone. You are welcome to come see the space and decide what you might want to keep (no cost).
Close walking distance of a post office, cafes and bars on Lygon and B East, walking distance to Coles, a chemist, bakeries, Fleming Park. 10 – 15 minute walk to Merri Creek walking trail. There's metalsmith, framers, woodsheds, and other creatives nearby if you need to commission work. Usually someone is home to take deliveries.
