As we are still looking for a studio location, I emailed Gap Studios West to inquire about their rates and whether any discounts were available. Below is the reply, I received:
Although the rate is quite high, they had said they would help us. I then rang them back to find out how they could help us and the owner said that they do not charge by the hour, the daily rate is fixed at £350 and they could not offer us any student discount.
