Louise Whitham in her studio

I noticed a door open under the stairs at Stockwell studios and there was Louise Whitham so we had a chat.

process.arts hopes to be working with studio artists and designers to gain insight into professional practice.

Providing 24 working spaces, they have been run and used by artists and craftspeople since the late 1980s and formed into an Industrial Providential Society with charitable aims. The variety of work produced here is one of the strengths of the group; this includes painting, sculpture, mosaic, stained glass, baroque, musical instrument manufacture, glass design, ceramics, performance, film, installation, printmaking and illustration.

As well as their studio work many of the group also teach art subjects in schools, colleges and other community organisations. Currently there are more than 70 artists on our waiting list for studio space and we get weekly enquiries.
