Marton Arts & Crafts Centre

The Marton Arts and Crafts Centre (MACC) opened its doors in 1971 and ever since it has filled the old St Stephen’s School with creativity. There is much on offer with classes and groups working in different artistic mediums including pottery, painting, writing, quilting, weaving and embroidery.

We are open to the public on Saturdays and you may find some of our artists working in their mediums with our current membership including emerging and experienced artists who will have work on display. Many of the beautiful pieces on show are for sale, and by buying a piece you know you are supporting our local artists.

Everyone is welcome at Marton Arts and Crafts and the membership base is wide. The centre boasts a large pottery studio for wheel work and hand building whilst weaving looms take up residency in the adjacent room. Skilled tutors come through the doors and different social groups make themselves at home.

The centre is for the community and it has an ethos of connecting people through art and craft. Cups of tea and discussing creative projects are just as important here as the making, and friendships are forged in this beautiful old building
