Maws Craft Centre
About
The Maws Craft Centre and Maws Creative Spaces are a collection of art, craft and design studios situated in the picturesque Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 1.5 miles from the historic Iron Bridge. Housed in the refurbished Victorian tile factory of Maw & Co, once the world's largest tile manufacturer. The building now comprises independently run studios - a mix of artists, designers & makers, galleries, a holistic therapist, the Tile Press café, a craft supplies shop, the Gorge Parish Council office, IT consultants and media companies. The Maws courtyard is used to host events including open air concerts, World Heritage Site events and outdoor art exhibitions. The centre courtyard is open to walk through 7 days a week but individual shop & studio opening times vary. Usually a selection of them can be found open most days. To visit a particular artist please check with them before travelling any distance. Contact details are on our website.
