Messums Creative is an educational branch of Messums Wiltshire.

The Tisbury based pioneering multi-purpose gallery and Art Centre established Messums Creative in Chilmark in July 2021 as a teaching art studio. Its aim was to support life-long creative learning with the emphasis on the individual’s development of creative language through the tuition of making skills and material knowledge. Underpinned by the ambitious and eye-opening programme of art exhibitions, events and academic symposia, Messums Creative helps to foster a community of creatives of all ages, abilities, and levels of expertise.

Clay, pottery and ceramics was and remains the topic of primary focus. However, now in our second year we have expanded into drawing and painting and we seek to explore and grow our creative learning offer to other media and methods such as print and woodwork.

Creative Summer – 26 July – 17 September:

The August till mid-September period is not structured as a regular programme, but is a time during which we are able to offer different creative learning opportunities and react to requests by focusing on particular projects.

It is the season during which we are able to engage new visiting artists tutors and when we are also able to offer more possibilities for booking bespoke sessions for groups and individuals.

If you would like to approach us with a bespoke session request which sits outside our published diary, please visit our bespoke sessions page.
