Part working studio, part gallery. Fold is a creative space shared by artist and designer Mel Eaton and resident creatives Laura Hewetson and Julie Hassall.
A layered creative space in the heart of Rangiora
Who
we are
Fold Studio & Gallery is a shared creative space where ideas take shape and creative stories are brought to life. Nestled in Rangiora’s historic Johnston’s building, Fold is home to three long-term resident artists - Mel Eaton, Laura Hewetson, and Julie Hassall - each bringing their own creative practice and energy to the space.
Together, we’ve built a studio that invites curiosity, celebrates process, and opens the door to connection through exhibitions, collaborations, and public engagement.
