LAUNCH WEEKEND AT THE FOUNDRY

27–28 March 2026

Join us for the opening of our new creative space in Dry Drayton, Cambridge. A two-day launch of art, workshops, open studios, live demos, music, food and making.

A NEW CREATIVE SPACE FOR CAMBRIDGE

Sol Creative Foundry is a space dedicated to making, experimentation and creative collaboration.
Our Launch Weekend is the first chance to step inside the space, meet the artists, and experience what the Foundry is all about.

Across two days we’ll be celebrating with artist talks, live music, creative demonstrations, open studios, food, and hands-on workshops led by artists and makers. Visitors can explore the Artists & Makers Showcase, watch live creative demos, join the collaborative sketchbook table, or book into workshops to learn new skills and experiment with materials.

 

Whether you're an artist, a curious beginner, or simply someone who enjoys creative spaces, the launch weekend is designed to be welcoming, relaxed and inspiring.
