We are a thriving and dynamic studios, home to a number of gifted artists and designer-makers from a variety of different disciplines, such as ceramics, glass, mixed media, jewellery, textiles, fashion, costume and illustration.

Opened in May 2013 by internationally renowned designer Wayne Hemmingway MBE, The Sorting Office is a place where creative things are made and happen and people see the world differently.

Born out of a need for affordable workspace for businesses in the creative sector, the studios were forged from an old postal sorting office in the heart of Eastleigh Town Centre, with assistance from Recreate, a European funding programme that aims to bring empty commercial properties back to life by transforming them into business clusters for artists.

Our role is to support and promote the work of our talented residents, to give them a voice for their unique and exciting work.
