Awards
Applications are invited for the Cockpit Arts / NADFAS Award which aims to help a talented designer-maker to set up in business for the first time. This award is worth £3,000 and will contribute towards the cost of a studio at one of Cockpit Arts creative-business incubators in Holborn, WC1 or Deptford, SE8. The award is for a designer-maker practising a traditional craft requiring skills at risk of dying out. This might include such crafts as paper conservation, building crafts, or conservation of textiles, books or other items. Further information including an application form is available from Adrian Lee, Studio Manager on 020 7419 1959 or adrian@cockpitarts.com. The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday 6 February 2009.
