Studio Information

Studio 81 is based in the very centre of Manchester on Oldham Road just off the main Piccadilly gardens above the Barber Shop and Body Piercing Centre. It is easy to find, and parking is best on the nearby multi story car park. The door onto the street is quite discreet so you need to look out for it next to the entrance to the Barbers.

Inside you go straight up the stairs to the reception and waiting area where you will be greeted by the handsome Nigel. He will assist you and show you to the many books of designs and photographs of work done by the resident artist, who are also available to offer advice and assistance should you wish to discuss your design ideas.

The studio is very smart and clean and modern in appearance, without loosing a comfortable and relaxed feel. The sofas are comfortable and the room is well laid out so that you can take your time looking at the artwork and discussing your ideas.

Artists work in the same studio, each with their own workstation. Jay, Danny and Carol all have specialist areas and their freehand designs and artwork can be seen in the books of photographs in the waiting area. The studio room is tidy and organised and clean, allowing for privacy should it be required.
