How to Support Designer-Makers

There are a number of ways to get involved with Cockpit Arts which can help support designer-makers at our studios and benefit UK creativity. We have a list of ideas below or visit our main website for up-to-date information about supporting our work.

Visit Open Studios

Visit our Open Studios. Buying direct from designer-makers supports their independent businesses. What's more, the interaction and feedback that they get from talking to you about their work can be very valuable to them.

Shop Direct

Next time you have shopping to do, look on our designer-maker directory. Many designer-makers have online shops or offer studio visits so that you can buy from them direct. Some even offer a commissioning service, so you can opt to get something completely bespoke and unique to you.

Be a Friend

If you would like to play a part in the life of Cockpit Arts and support the work of the organisation, why not become a Friend? Benefits include free events, a quarterly newsletter and other perks.

Spread the word

A great way to spread your support is to tell your friends about the benefits and enjoyment of buying from designer-makers at Cockpit Arts. If you subscribe to our e-newsletter you can select to forward this to interested friends and colleagues.
