GRAFT STUDIOS

Graft Studios – Old Town Hall, Sandown

Step inside Graft Studios, a brand-new creative space rooted in one of Sandown’s most distinctive historic buildings. Housed within the Old Town Hall on Grafton Street, Graft Studios brings new life to a place once central to civic life, now reimagined as a home for making, thinking, and creative exchange.

The studios have been carefully developed to support artists and makers at different stages of their practice, offering light-filled workspaces where ideas can take root and grow. True to its name, Graft Studios is about connection between heritage crafts and contemporary practice, artists and audience.

During IW Open Studios, visitors are warmly invited to explore this newly opened space, meet the artists who have set up GRAFT and find out about what is being created there. Explore work in progress, finished pieces and studio facilities.

Whether you’re curious about how artists work, interested in the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, enjoy discovering new creative spaces or are an artist, maker or creative looking for a new studio space, Graft Studios offers a chance to see something at its very beginning — a place where creativity is being actively shaped.
