Under the Umbrella

When you live and work in Manchester...an umbrella is useful!

It can be difficult to be a lone wolf when you are working as a small independent creative business.

The wonderful studio holders at Woodend Mills have joined forces; enjoying the freedom of independence while harnessing the strength of togetherness.

In addition to their own websites, social media and tireless efforts to bring their work to the attention of a wider audience, they have created a website to promote the whole community based at Woodend Mill, Mossley and this stronger-together approach is launching today! https://www.woodendmillstudios.co.uk

Now people can see many of the studio holders, artists and independent businesses based here, making it easier to contact studio holders directly.

You can deal directly with the designer and maker, no automated telephone, no press 1 for...and 2 for... just lovely creatives to discuss your project ideas with and create something bespoke.

Shop local and discover a wonderful world of creativity, art, heritage craft, designers, thinkers, foodies and problem-solvers on your doorstep.

It is also a fantastic place to learn a new skill, to enjoy a day of creativity as a team of friends or co-workers, to improve your wellbeing and join a workshop. Just some of the opportunities to join the wonderful community at Woodend Studios are art classes, pottery workshops, sewing lessons, knitting group, embroidery therapy, dried flower therapy, leather craft, meditation and much more.

The new website is still under construction with new studio-holders being added daily. Now we are all under one roof we look forward to welcoming you to our world...Woodend Studios
