Messy Studio - Level 1

A wet art studio at its core, the Messy Studio was conceptualised by Black artists who envisioned a space through which experimental ideas could flow. Equipped with drying racks, storage units, sewing machines and other art equipment, this space is accessible for booking to visual and textile artists with any level of expertise.
