As Capital & Centric prepares to transform Spode Works, Fliss Grant hears from a current and former studio resident about what local artists need to make it work…
I'm concerned to see that the plans involve removing the studio spaces - artists and many other creatives' studios are very much needed in the city and I hope very much that better provision (bearing in mind the comments about cold and damp) can be provided in purpose built premises on the same site as part of the redevelopment.
Really interesting and presents the gentrification issues well. Probably you know Capital&Centric organise "consultations" about their proposal on 26th of March in Spode Works site and as a member of Acava studios community i really hope they will answer our questions. I hope you will be there
Really interesting article- I do hope the developers do listen to the people already using the Spode site
