James Baker set up Hereford Make in Harrow Road, off Whitecross Road. two and a half years ago. It is 7,500 square feet, and also has a forge on site. and appeals to craft-orientated artists. There are around ten artists currently based there, with 12 more about to start a bronze casting course next week. Mr Baker graduated in con- temporary applied arts in 2011 at Hereford College of Arts and found he was overqualified for jobs in the local area. He said: “There are only a few of us from that [college] year continuing artistic practice. They had nowhere to set up to continue their practice.” Mr Baker found the studio spaces available in the county were very clean and quiet. and not suited to his blacksmithing work. Since setting up the artistic hub he has applied for grants and funding and they are soon to get more equipment, includ- ing a laser cutter for non-metal applications. Tim Rawlins is one of the art- ists now based there and he is running the bronze casting course — there is a waiting list for the next course. In two weeks’ time he is set- ting up a small foundry, which is supported by Castle Fine Arts Foundry Mr Rawlins said: “There is a sense that there is a very strong creative community but it is isolated. “It is very local and it needs an international or national inter est. “What seems to be happening James Baker in the forge at Hereford Make is some sort of space where things can happen — people can look to the collective for sup- port. “As a group we can look out of the collective for sales opportu- nities and grant applications. It is the sort of thing that Bristol or London will have.” The idea is that more experi- enced artists will help students develop their own businesses. The studio offers affordable rent of £50 for a desk, and £150 for a space in the forge per month. Mr Rawlins said: “It is about being part of something — mov- ing themselves forward and celebrating creativity with other people and putting them- selves in other opportunities. “The creative individual can do their practice there — they can celebrate with other art- ists and work out how to make money out of using their skills in the broader context.” Tim Rawlins Mr Baker thanked Hereford City Council and UnLtd for their sponsorship.
