The Lightbox:
The Colour Factory Lightbox is a truly unique building designed by Dan Brill Architects in collaboration with the Colour Factory, with the main funding coming from Arts Council England South East, Winchester City Council and Pennington Solicitors. It opened for Making Merry in November 2008. The building itself was the result of an innovative and collaborative project between the Colour Factory, Dan Brill and local builders and craftsmen. The Colour Factory runs regular workshops for all ages and abilities in the Lightbox. We are keen to hear from local artists who would like to use the facility to run their own creative workshops, and other local people and/or companies who are interested in hiring this unique facility for corporate or private events.
