Who We Are

Cockpit Arts is the UK’s only creative business incubator for designer-makers. Renowned for being a ‘hotbed of creative talent’ our studios are brimming with cutting edge fashion, jewellery and interior products.

As a registered charity we exist solely to nurture creative talent, from first beginnings through to international success. We house 165 practitioners at our incubators in Holborn WC1 and Deptford SE8; all benefiting from affordable studio space, inclusive professional development support, one-to-one business mentoring and public selling opportunities. We open our doors to the public five times a year for our very popular Open Studios events.
