British Craft Pavilion Talk | How we make things
Hole & Corner
-

A panel discussion hosted by British Craft Pavilion curators Hole & Corner in The Common cafe situated in the British Craft Pavilion. With Forest + Found, Stoff Studios, Julian Mayor and Par Avion, on where ideas come from, their conceptual approach and how they collaborate with others.

Hole & Corner is independent quarterly print magazine, dedicated to stories of craft, beauty, passion and skill. The title comes from an old English term meaning a secret place: somewhere you go to escape the world, to be inspired, to contemplate and create. Why not follow us on Instagram for more maker stories, secret places and beautifully crafted objects.

Comment by Rebecca Skeels on September 19, 2017 at 8:39am: Sharing on behalf of Coin Street Builders:

Coin Street Community Builders are searching for innovative, independent designer-makers to join the Oxo Tower Wharf community. They are accepting applications from retailers operating across a range of design disciplines (from fashion and craft to product design and technology).

There is a large triple unit available to let from September 2017 that faces the Courtyard, one second floor Courtyard unit to let from October, and one first floor Riverside unit available from November 2017.

These rarely available units are heavily subsidised to enable creative business owners to launch or upscale their self-designed products and hopefully build a successful enterprise.

To find out more or to arrange a viewing please contact Belinda Moore on 020 7021 1650 or email lettings@coinstreet.org. The lettings brochure is available to download from http://www.oxotower.co.uk/venue/retail-studios/
