# COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

### MAZE STUDIOS CIC

### Company Number: 07314722 (England and Wales)

### Year Ending: 28 September 2025

Company activities and impact

This year has seen the closure of our kiln firing facilities at nissen hut no.3 on Barton Hill trading Estate, along with the cessation of the licence and handing back over of the premises to our landlord. At the end of 2023 we closed our large studio premises and had kept Maze Studios open via our kiln firing service at our small nissen hut premises. During the two years we created a brand new website and service agreement to facilitate as many artists as we could, focusing solely on providing kiln firings. It was a pleasure providing advice to artists wishing to use our kilns and helping enable those without studios to access kiln firing facilities. OVERALL STATUS & SPACES Mission statement: ‘We are a community interest company for aiding the facilitation of artist development as a stepping stone between formal training and personal artistic progression towards artist independence’. Our aim: Maze Studios CIC is established to cultivate and promote the progression of publicly accessible facilities and access to education in contemporary visual art, craft and design through the development of artistic knowledge and public participation. Maze Studios provides affordable access to creative facilities for Bristol based emerging local artists, with a focus on ceramics. Maze Studios promotes a professional and well-equipped studio with kiln facilities that can be accessed by beginners to University graduates and local artists. EQUIPMENT Up until closure we provided access to specialised equipment which artists setting up on their own may have found financially challenging as well as difficult to accommodate. OUR CONTRIBUTION TO COMMUNITY We contributed to the Bristol arts community by collaborating with other Bristol-based arts organisations by participating in artist projects and arts trails, local artisan markets, exhibitions and community arts projects; we fired art work brought to us from workshops facilitating schools, festivals and community groups. Maze Studios formed strong links with the community of artists, networking with local businesses and art studios, helping to bring arts into the community, making services affordable and accessible for all. Maze Studios prioritized local businesses and charities for material supplies and building equipment along with maintenance work. We hired local electricians, to carry out necessary electrical safety tests and maintenance with ceramic equipment maintained and repaired by local Kiln technicians. LOOKING FORWARD We made the difficult decision to finally close Maze Studios in its entirety. It has been an incredible journey. Thank you to everyone who fired with us and brought your clay creations entrusting us with such an important process and part of your work. We wish you strength, joy and resilience in the pursuit of creativity.
