Cockpit Arts
Cockpit Arts’ chief executive Vanessa Swann and business development manager Ellen O’Hara speak to Jane Watt about Cockpit’s unique incubator scheme for designer-makers in London.
A good working environment that nurtures creativity, promotes professional development, develops business acumen and provides public selling opportunities sounds like a visual artist's wish list. Cockpit Arts has created such an environment in its unique incubator scheme for designer-makers in its two London bases in Holborn and Deptford.
Vanessa Swann points out: "We are the UK's only creative business incubator for designer-makers. All tenant artists benefit 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." She is proud that "we are renowned for being a hotbed of creative talent. Our studios are brimming with cutting edge designer-makers working in a range of different markets." These include jewellery, ceramics, glass, printmaking, textiles, fashion, product design and letterpress printing.
