Looe Shedders & Ebron Studios Working together to benefit our community

Ebron Studios Ebron is the Cornish word for Sky and represents our hub of studios designed specifically for artists, makers, and crafters. Our mission is to foster a collaborative community for working artists and to provide room for their practice to develop and businesses to grow. Accessibility and practical facilities are our top priorities, so that each studio space meets the needs of practitioners whose creative pursuits have expanded beyond what they can achieve working from home. This hub will be a safe space, to collaborate, learn and trade, and will include shared facilities and equipment to enhance artistic enterprise and research. Alongside providing studio residence for working artists, we aim to embrace the local community with workshops, classes, and events that help individuals develop new skills and knowledge. We aspire to support young people, experienced practitioners and those looking to enter creative industries for the first time. At Ebron Studios we strive to: • Support local artists, with space to sustain self- employed creatives and small businesses • Drive economic growth and local employment through nurturing creative talent. • Encourage artistic expression and reduce social isolation • Enjoy cultural heritage through art, to foster creativity and cultural expression • Bring enterprising people together with accessible studio space • Provide a work hub, to equip small businesses with a base of operations • Offer tools and facilities to aid in skill development • Host Open Studios and gallery events to encourage a year-round visitor economy Ebron Studios will cater to artists of all mediums, with studios available to individual artists, along with a central area to socialise, engage, and connect with one another. Additionally, this community space will offer opportunity for creators to showcase their work, and collaboratively host gallery events with peer support. Creativity is at the heart of community, therefore we also hope to offer workshops and learning experiences to local groups (such as Looe’s primary and secondary school) through the broad range of skills available from our future network of resident artists. Yet most of all, Ebron Studios will become a home for working artists. There is currently far too little support for creatives; particularly those who navigate their career path with a need to accommodate neurodivergence or disabilities. Our studios will be built from the ground up to serve the creative community as a whole and empower self- employed artists to attain their full potential in business, partnerships and long-term success. And the best bit…Ebron Studios will be a non-profit Community Interest Company, so no huge bills for users. But now…We Need Your Support Help us make the Looe Creative Centre a reality by adding your support to our planning application.
