PART WORKING STUDIO, PART EXHIBITION GALLERY

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 emerge.

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.
