9. MEET THE NEW STARS OF CRAFT
Cockpit Arts, the social enterprise that supports craftspeople at the start of their careers, is holding Christmas Open Studio weekends at its two sites in Holborn (24–27 November) and Deptford (2–4 December). See a porcelain vessel be thrown (vessels by Eleanor Lakelin, pictured), an apprentice silversmith forging Bauhaus-inspired jewellery, or a marbled book being bound. We’ll be joining the queue to see bursary awardee Charlie Laurie making his beautiful leatherwork (cockpit arts.com).
