History
In 1994 when Keith Ashley was looking for a studio for himself he came across a derelict Victorian building at the end of a mews off Stoke Newington High Street. It had been a chocolate factory until 1959, but had fallen into disuse. Despite its dereliction it was an attractive building around a cobbled yard with lots of character and a warm atmosphere. Although somewhat daunted at first, Keith bought the building and converted it to provide 13 studios for artists and the Chocolate Factory N16 began its new life.
In no time the studios were full, so when the building next door became available, that too was bought and rebuilt to create another 14 studios. Work was completed in January 2007.
If you are interesting in having a studio at the Chocolate Factory N16, contact Keith Ashley on 020 7503 7896 or 020 7209 5862, or by email at keith.ashley@blueyonder.co.uk. Alternatively, you use the Contact us page of the website.
