ART SCHOOLS × SOL CREATIVE FOUNDRY
Creative Partnerships for Future Makers
Give your students access to real studios, tools and industry-connected creative practice just minutes from Cambridge.
Sol Creative Foundry partners with colleges and universities to give students something rarely available on campus: professional creative space, real-world tools, and a calm environment to make meaningful work.
Whether it’s fine art, film, photography, design, textiles or community arts, our studios offer the equipment, space and support to help students stretch their practice beyond the classroom.
