| 2011 was a very busy year for The Creative Space Studio.
February saw the move to our new studio in the Adelphi Mill, Bollington, where we hold creative courses and workshops.
March through to the end of September was the design, planning, preparation, coordination and delivery of a 200 square foot mosaic for Macclesfield Town FC. The mosaic was partially funded by Cheshire Peaks & Plains Housing Trust and Macclesfield Town FC. The Creative Space Studio has donated over half of the days required to the project, with substantial donations from World of Mosaics and S&M Supplies, Macclesfield.
August saw the culmination of several months work on The Isle of Man last year, with hundreds of community members, who produced over 130 individual mosaics. These mosaics which were installed into the Loch Promenade Sunken Gardens in Douglas. Funded by Marks & Spencer, Groundwork UK, Douglas Development Partnership and Douglas Borough Council.
