2025
THE MAKING ROOM
HYBRID CREATIVE PROGRAM
In 2025, The Making Room will return as a 6-week program, offering for the first time a hybrid creative space that follows a remote online making journey and culminates in an in-person weekend in London. This allows international artists to take part, and allows the Making Room to evolve into a live making space.
This is the first time that The Solo School has launched an in-person work space outside of its base in the Forest of Dean. Following the development of its 3-month membership program in Autumn 2024, The Solo School is now offering an in-person making space in London.
