A Stable for Artists: The Cold Press Gallery in Norfolk

November 18, 2015

Owners Kate and Ben Lawrence of The Cold Press gallery and studio were looking to build a serene community outside the London art scene when they set up their intaglio print studio in Holt, Norfolk. To further their mission, they called on architect Craig Bamfort and artist Louise Sayarer of SasaWorks to build The Artist’s House for their growing residency program. The house, 15 miles from the Albert Street gallery, is a restored stable with oak and concrete flooring, iron staircases, and expressive woodworking details.

For more on upcoming exhibitions, go to The Cold Press, and for more on the gallery and studio spaces, see our post Cold Press Gallery in Norfolk.
