THE SPACE
A real studio.
Not a function room.
Sol Creative Foundry is in the Cambridgeshire countryside, 10 minutes from Cambridge. The building is a converted unit with high ceilings, natural light, and exposed beams. Workshops run here daily. Exhibitions are on the walls. There are working artists in the building.
Step outside between sessions and you are in open countryside. It is not polished or corporate. It is a real creative space that happens to work brilliantly for teams.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Things people
ask us.
How many people can you accommodate?
Groups of 5 to 50. For smaller groups we run single-activity workshops. For larger groups we set up mixed-making stations where teams rotate.
Do we need any experience?
None at all. Every workshop is designed for complete beginners. Our teachers guide you through every step.
What do people take home?
Everything your team makes - paintings, prints, clay pieces, repaired ceramics. Some items need firing and can be collected or posted within 2–3 weeks.
Is the space accessible?
Yes. Ground floor throughout, step-free access. Let us know about any specific requirements when you book.
What if I am working with a very small budget?
Get in touch and we'll see what we can do. We know budgets vary and we'd rather have a conversation than have you assume it's not possible. Some sessions have more flexibility than others, and we're always open to discussing what works.
