An 8-part professional development programme, supporting aspiring makers who are exploring whether to turn their creativity into a freelance career or solo business.
Closing date: 20 Jul 2026
Through 8 sessions based around expert guidance, real-world case studies, and practical exercises, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and the tools you need to take the next step on your journey as a maker — whether that’s launching your own business or refining your creative direction.
Based on over a decade of nurturing individual makers toward readiness for a studio space at Cockpit, Craft Your Future brings together everything you need to consider in order to understand your readiness as a business or freelancer, life as a maker, creative and craft development, building a network, and registering your business, as well as working out what to charge for your work.
Coming Soon: The first-ever Craft Your Future runs from 1 June-20 July 2026, on Mondays at midday (12pm).
For the programme launch, Cockpit is pleased to be offering subsidised places to individual makers. For details, please refer to the FAQs.
