London Craft Week 2026 – Cockpit: 40 Years of Craft Excellence: Cockpit Bloomsbury, London

For 40 years, Cockpit Studios has helped thousands of emerging makers build a sustainable practice and launched the careers of internationally celebrated artists and craftspeople.

This year during London Craft Week, the charity presents our first-ever multimedia exhibition, featuring photography by Alun Callender, video, and craft objects, in a powerful showcase of the makers behind the craft magic that comes to life at Cockpit.

Ute Decker is pleased to announce a selection of her works will be featured in this special 40th Anniversary presentation.

Taking place at our historic Bloomsbury location, come face-to-face with the vibrant creative community that calls Cockpit home. Discover the makers behind your favourite independent jewellery and fashion brands, award-winning ceramics, glass, wood, and textile artists, and contemporary sculptors and artisans keeping heritage techniques alive.
Visitors can explore the exhibition on Tuesday 12 May from 12-6 pm - registration is required.



Please note that the studios will not be open during this event. 

If you are interested in visiting makers in their studios, please visit us during Summer Open Studios on 4-7 June in Bloomsbury and 12-14 June in Deptford.
