GROW STUDIOS IN HACKNEY WICK

Grow Studios was founded in 2007 by two locals living and working in Hackney Wick. The studios are formed from two previously empty warehouses close to the overground train station, with one backing onto the Lea Navigation canal.

The basic premise was to make space for artists/maker friends in which units could be customised to meet their needs and most importantly, be affordable. The studios were borne out of a DIY self-organising ethos and purpose to create useful and sustainable spaces for its tenants.

At date, Grow Studios has had over 300 visual and street artists, photographers, filmmakers, 2D modellers, architects, clothing designers and makers, set & furniture designer makers, music producers within its studios.
