ABOUT
We're thrilled to announce the return of 'Brewing'. Building on the huge success of our exhibition in Carnaby, London, we're now extending this concept to open the doors of Sophie Tea's creative haven in Manly, Sydney, for an exclusive residency experience in January for 2 weeks.

'I’m so excited to welcome 5 artists to share my studio space. Honestly, I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to launch this, us creatives really need to stick together! I’ve been an artist for 9 years and I have had 9 studio moves!! How crazy is that??!! 3 years ago I was finally in a position to properly invest in a space that I could SET UP! This studio is all I’ve ever dreamed of, everyday it feels like a big playground and that anything is possible. I don’t own it, but it really is one of the most important things in my life.'

'Having the space to work without restriction is magic and for so many years I would have loved for a space, even for a short period of time, to make a mess WITHOUT RESTRICTION!!

2 weeks complete access to the studio and equipment. I have a pottery wheel, boujiest printers you’ve ever seen, canvas stretching, brushes, photo studio, backdrops, VR headsets, film, tufting guns and so much more. I want you to feel that freedom and make something bigger than you thought possible. So yeah… this is the first one, but if all goes well I’d love for this to become a rolling, permanent part of what I’m trying to build.

Lots of love and luck!
Sophie xxx'
