John was very welcoming. He has a good set up and talked through everything clearly in terms of the process of taking the shots and  selecting the final image. Really happy with the results. Thanks.

Very enjoyable and helpful morning learning about using my phone to take better photos.
John has great knowledge and practical advice. It definitely all comes down to seeing the light!

Great to be part of BL6 studios - they work hard to promote local artists and give others the chance to learn. The gallery is looking really good since the recent make-over. Look out for the next exhibition!

I attended an art exhibition at the studios last year and spotted an incomplete painting which I convinced the artist to finish and sell to me. I love it!

I have just completed the beginners painting course with Julia and it was incredible. It was very relaxing and I feel inspired to get going on my own. Julia was a brilliant teacher, very patient and encouraging. She gave so many wonderful tips, can't wait to get going. Thank you! 😁

I recently had the pleasure of visiting BL6 Studio and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the space and the warm ambiance that welcomed visitors. The artwork on display was nothing short of breathtaking. Each artwork seemed to tell its own unique story. I found myself lost in the stunning paintings that evoked deep emotions and sparked my imagination. What made the visit even more special were the lovely, kind people I met. I struck up conversations with artists in front of a mesmerizing installation, It was refreshing to share insights and interpretations with someone who shared the same passion.
Overall, my visit to BL6 Studios was a perfect blend of beautiful artwork and wonderful interactions. I left feeling so inspired, confident and will be returning soon, not just for the art, but for the community that thrives within its walls. Highly recommended for anyone looking to immerse themselves in creativity and connection.

I can thoroughly recommend the regular Wednesday evening Life Drawing sessions at BL6 Studios, Horwich. They are well-organised and welcoming sessions, run by Julia Entwistle, the landscape artist.
The regular pop-up art exhibitions by talented  local artists are another good reason to visit BL6 Studios in Horwich. The recent exhibition by Chris  Humphreys was of a very high standard. If you enjoy art, give BL6 Studios a visit.
  
 
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 

Parking

Parking directly outside BL6 Studios on Hampson Street can be unpredictable.

On any given day, it could be completely empty or completely chock-a-block. There are a number of active businesses in the area, so spaces come and go throughout the day, and there are no designated parking bays for the studio.

There is usually parking on nearby streets including Wright Street, Julia Street, Lord Street, Peter Martin Street, Dickinson Street and Brady Street.

You may also find spaces on Hope Street, as well as Scholes Bank, Lee Lane and Lever Park Avenue, all within a short walk of the studio.

In most cases, you will find somewhere to park nearby. It may simply involve a short walk of around 150–200 yards.

If you are delivering or collecting artwork, we can usually accommodate short-term access directly outside the studio. You just need to let us know in advance so we can plan for your arrival.

So while you might not get a space right outside the door, you will get parked. It just depends whether you want immediate access or are happy with a brief walk.
