About ArtisanSpace

Our mission is to preserve and promote Australia's rich artistic heritage while fostering creativity and innovation

Our Story

ArtisanSpace was founded in 2018 by a group of artists, educators, and cultural advocates who shared a vision: to create a dedicated space where Australia's artistic traditions could be preserved, celebrated, and innovatively developed.

What began as a small studio offering pottery and textile arts classes has grown into a comprehensive creative education center, featuring multiple specialized studios, exhibition spaces, and a thriving community of artists and students.

Today, ArtisanSpace stands as a hub for creative education in Australia, connecting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary practices and fostering a new generation of artisans and creative professionals.
