We have over 30 studios on site, as well facilities including a darkroom, woodworking area and kiln used by studio-holders, students and the public.

our studios

Studio-holders at The Margate School of Art work within a range of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to design and fashion.

Studio-holders have free or discounted access to our facilities, a discount in our cafe, and regular community lunches.

Spaces range from single desks to shared pods to self-contained studio spaces.

fellowships

Fellows at The Margate School of Art do not have a studio space - they hot-desk, and can make use of the range of facilities and participate in the collaborative and community spirit of the School.
