Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.

We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

 Cockpit Arts Setting Up Bursaries

In recognition of how difficult it can be for designer-makers at the start of their career to make the leap from working from home to taking a place at Cockpit Arts, Cockpit Arts have developed a number of bursaries that will specifically assist designer makers who have set up in the last three years. 

Bursaries will be made to selected applicants who demonstrate entrepreneurial spirit as well as creative excellence and craft skill and are seeking support to take their business to the next level. The Bursaries contribute towards a place at Cockpit for one year and include studio space, business development support and selling & promotional opportunities.

Each Bursary is worth £2,000 against the cost of the Cockpit Arts incubator package, with the remaining £2,000 fee being provided by the Bursary winners, payable on a monthly basis.

Deadline for applications: Friday 1 February

Interviews: Friday 8 February

Programme start March 2013
