Summer Open Studios is back, and this edition is especially significant as we mark our 40th year of supporting makers and championing craft.

This twice-yearly event is the only time Cockpit opens its doors to the public, offering a rare opportunity to meet some of London’s leading craftspeople, go behind the scenes in their studios to learn the details of their practice, and support independent businesses.

At the heart of this year’s event is our 40th anniversary celebration and an auction of 40 incredible craft objects made at Cockpit. And as always, visitors can explore the extraordinary world of making at Cockpit, from jewellery and ceramics to homewares, fashion accessories, and more.

Bloomsbury highlights:

  • Celebrate Cockpit’s 40th anniversary and the launch of our auction during the exclusive VIP Preview (join us with an Open Access VIP Pass!)
  • Explore a curated exhibition of works featured in our 40th anniversary auction
  • Discover the faces of Cockpit through a photography exhibition by Alun Callender
  • Meet more than 80 talented makers, from cutting-edge ceramicists to master craftspeople preserving heritage techniques
  • Enjoy lunch or a refreshing drink at our pop-up café, Flavour Kitchen
  • Half-price admission for all Camden residents
