Cockpit Arts Summer Open Studios 2019 - Deptford
18-22 Creekside London, SE8 3DZ
21 - 23 June 2019
Cockpit Arts is open over two weekends for a midsummer celebration; visit for a glimpse behind the studio doors and a chance to buy direct from London’s best independent makers, alongside demonstrations, workshops and a secret postcard sale.
Meet over 140 different craftspeople during the two weekend openings at Cockpit Arts’ studios; located in Holborn, at the heart of Bloomsbury and in the creative South East London neighbourhood of Deptford.
Open Studios is the only time Cockpit Arts is open to the public, making this an exclusive opportunity to see inside the buildings as well as meet and buy direct from some of the best makers in London - emerging and established.
Throughout both weekends there will be demonstrations, talks and taster workshops. See www.cockpitarts.com for details.
Cockpit Arts welcomes new makers throughout the year, and this time includes contemporary jeweller Catherine Mannheim (Holborn), basketweaver Alison Dickens (Depftford), ceramicist Simon Kidd (Deptford) and japanning artist Tuesday Riddell (Holborn).
To help plan your visit, see the Maker Directory for a full list of current Cockpit Arts studio holders.
