Allendale Creative Artists CIC

We are a co-operative group of volunteers, producers, artists and makers promoting small businesses and the beautiful North Pennines landscape through the Allendale Forge Studios Art and Craft Centre. As a community interest company and social enterprise we raise awareness, develop skills through tutored workshops and by creating high quality products.

Together we have built an art and crafts skills centre where we run lively fun workshops and show the practice of heritage crafts from textile, felt making, glass, stone, hooky and proggy, silk, jewellery, wet-plate photography, leather craft, artwork and design.
