Artreach Studios: A Creative Journey

Founded in 2015, Artreach Studios evolved from a series of educational visual art projects that began in 2012. Colette Gambell and Kate Jerry co-manage the studio, which serves as a vibrant visual art and craft space and a hub for premier visual art and craft workshop programmes, as well as a variety of artistic experiences and events. We are excited to host the ‘Isle of Man Drawing Club’ led by Kim Graziano and Nicole de Villiers, who instructs the children’ Saturday club during term time and a number of adult art workshops!

A Picturesque Setting

Situated in the breathtaking surroundings of Peel Harbour, just behind the House of Manannan, Artreach Studios is perfectly located in one of the most scenic and historic areas of the Island. We take pride in creating a relaxed atmosphere within a natural environment. In fact, we have practically pioneered the concept of "workshops," promoting an inclusive approach to art and craft that emphasises enjoyment and participation, focusing on the process rather than the outcome.

Engaging Art Programmes

Artreach Studios offers a hands-on art enrichment programme for both children and adults, featuring specialised art workshops, camps, online experiences, and art retreats. We firmly believe that everyone has an artistic side waiting to be nurtured, encouraged, and inspired to flourish creatively.

Our mission is to support and nurture each individual's vision and unique style, inspiring them along their creative journeys. With years of experience in our own artistic practices and teaching these skills to others, we have seen how the opportunity to express oneself through visual arts helps individuals unlock their inner confidence, creativity, inspiration, passion, and talent.

** We emphasise the creative process over the outcome.

We provide inspiration through a diverse range of high-quality art materials, tools, techniques, and processes. Our themes are varied, spanning different art movements and styles to cater to various taste.

We believe in a holistic approach to visual arts and strive to provide a well-rounded experience. Hands-on exploration includes painting, drawing, illustration, collage, assemblage, printmaking, pottery & 3D sculpture, artisan craft, upcycled art, sewing, papier-mâché and more unique crafting opportunities!

Our art studio gallery is bright, inviting, open, and spacious, but most importantly, it is a nurturing, welcoming, fun, inspiring, safe, imaginative, and creative environment—a place where magic happens!

Visual Art & Craft is nourishing for the soul, inspiring you to reconnect with your creative side. Stay connected with your daily dose of creativity through our social media links, and feel free to share with your friends and family!
