Depending on your craft, there are possibly some free options.
The Shed movement - if you have one near you, they may well be happy to accommodate you
Our local Tesco has a free - to - hire room for " community use"
Would you be able to work in a library? My local library has a weekly knitting group
Perhaps if you started small in one of these spaces, you could see if there were others interested in taking it further.
Good luck.

I love crafting, I work in many forms of media. I sell at craft events, which just covers costs but I enjoy crafting and getting to meet the public, always time for a natter. I have this idea I would love to create a crafters workshop space for other crafters, min 4, to share costs and be cheaper than £300 a month, per person, all in. It would be a way to socialise be creative, and possibly have selling events if retail space allowed. Unfortunately,
I'm retired, live in rented accommodation, with no spare funds.
Energy and ideas is all I have. But doubt very much Id be considered for grants etc, as Im not in a committee.
Oh well, if anyone has any suggestions Im happy to read them.
Thank you for reading my idea! its always nice to dream though.
