Supporter Scheme

Help expand a thriving community

As a registered charity, we rely on generous donations to help keep our beautiful historical building going, and to enable us to run all the events and activities we provide. We support emerging makers, graduates and diverse makers through bursary schemes to help launch their careers and create viable businesses. Without your generosity we would not be able to give early career makers the support they need
