And that’s a wrap. Cockpit Open Studios is over in Holborn... but there’s a second bite of the cherry with more makers at our Deptford Studios next week. Come join the happy throng in Deptford.
Our team at Cockpit Arts is an amazing group of hardworking, talented, caring and often hilarious human beings and we’re all proud to be part of it. We happily work our buns off for Open Studios especially our studio managers Beckie and Adrian, and our irreplaceable event manager Shital. This pic by star photographer Alun Callender has Adrian sneaking onto Alun’s set during his week shooting Cockpit makers for his #popupstudio series which we’re previewing from this Friday at Holborn.
