Courses in painting, drawing, printing, textiles and ceramics from spring to autumn each year. We think we have a wonderful programme for 2025 - hope you agree!

Since opening in 2017 the Studio has earned a reputation for thought-provoking creative events, giving participants the space and time to develop and discuss their work with like minded people. Throughout everything we do, we’re motivated by our passion to share creative practice and live a creative life here at The Lund.

In addition to our original main studio in a converted red-brick dairy, we now have ‘The Drawing Barn’ - a large, open cattle barn lined with MDF drawing walls - ideal for bold and messy work:

We don’t receive any ongoing external funding and we don’t have any shareholders or investors - it’s just ‘Debbie and Steve’! Any profit we make we endeavour to re-invest into the development of the creative space and environment here at The Lund. We aim to be ‘green and local’ whenever and wherever we can.

Course costs are kept as low as possible so as to be as accessible to as many people as possible. This may mean our knives and forks often don’t match, some of our mugs may be chipped and we don’t have branded aprons ;-) What we DO have is a programme of inspirational courses run by the most amazing artists and makers.

Simple lunches and refreshments are included with our courses, prepared by Steve fresh in our own kitchen. Our wholesome bread is sourced from local Master Baker Dan Barrow at Stark Farm Bakery, with fresh fruit and veg from Simon at ‘Shirley’s Fruit and Veg’.
