Made In Clerkenwell - Open Studios - Spring 2014

We’re all set to open our doors for you to explore Craft Central’s 2 fascinating Victorian studio buildings in the heart of creative Clerkenwell, crammed full of craft and design delights. Both venues are located within convenient strolling distance – start your visit in Clerkenwell Green and find St John’s Square just 2 minutes away.

Avoid the high street and opt for handmade! Shop for ready-to-buy fashion, jewellery, accessories, ceramics, print-making, illustration and interior products by 100 selected UK designer-makers. Choose a gift, commission a unique piece, find a bespoke design service or just browse... Whether you can spare an hour or a whole day, mingle with the makers in the studios where they work their magic. One ticket allows unlimited access over 4 days, including Thursday’s launch event and Friday’s late night shopping. You can even buy your ticket online in advance and jump the queues!

As well as showcasing designers who have studios at Craft Central, we cherry-pick members of our national Network of makers to Pop Up in our exhibition spaces. Exhibitors to be announced soon! Here’s a sneaky peek at what’s in store from our resident designers...

Special Exhibition: Spotlight on Craft Central, featuring Studio Roso
To celebrate Made in Clerkenwell and Clerkenwell Design Week, we present new work by Craft Central Network member, Studio Roso, in our Showcase gallery this May. Fresh from Design Days Dubai, where the creative partnership of Sophie Nielsen and Rolf Knudsen exhibited with the Crafts Council, our special exhibition ‘Spotlight on Craft Central, featuring Studio Roso’ will mark the European launch of their highly anticipated new sculptural lighting piece that promises to ‘radiate the ephemeral nature of our environment’. Alongside this truly remarkable design spectacle, find out more about Craft Central, our services and the diverse national community designer-makers that we support to create exceptional craft and design and grow thriving creative businesses.
