At lbdesign, we feel that it’s important to support small creative businesses; inspired entrepreneurs out there doing it for themselves. One of our clients, Cockpit Arts does just this by renting out studio space to talented designer makers.

Twice a year they open their studios up so the public can visit the designers in their place of work, interact with them and buy their products. On a recent Sunday we visited the bustling Deptford Studios near Greenwich. Inspired by all the innovative talent housed under one roof, it was a perfect place to stock up on gifts for friends and family.

We’ll certainly be visiting both the Holborn and Deptford studios again before Christmas. Why not follow Cockpit Arts on twitter or join their Facebook fan page to keep up to date with their news?
