The Creative Space Studio

The Creative Space Studio specialises in providing a range of art and craft based leisure workshops and courses across the North West and the Isle of Man.

Our mosiac murals are particularly in demand. Each mosaic is unique to your school or group.  Each mosaic is designed around ideas from your pupils or members. The design is then agreed upon before careful preparation of the components. School and community mosaics are representative of YOUR ideas and needs. Please complete our workshop query form for an idea of costs.
