Cockpit Arts' Open Studios happen twice a year.

My Studio is private but twice a year ( at Summer & Christmas) we open to the Public.
The Christmas Open Studios is always a great place to pick up unique handmade gifts
You get to see behind the scenes and meet over 140 makers
For this Open Studios I created lots of One~Of~A~Kind upcycled clothing, the sequins were so popular and I sold out pretty quick!
For my christmas Open Studios I always have my little pastel Christmas Tree stuffed with handmade decorations.

These one~of~a~kind decorations are always really popular as they make great gifts. Some of my customers say they even like to keep their decoration up year round!
I make the decorations using digitally printed faux leather and upcycled glitter on the back. Each one is hand embroidered and sometimes I hand make some more at open studios as seen below!
I met Patricia two years ago when I first joined Cockpit. Patricia has been a great supporter of my work and we both share a love of cats.
Patricia showed up to my Christmas Open Studios wearing my faux leather skirt, a sample piece she got from my Summer Open Studios
I think she looks banging!
I also had my Sustainable scarf collection available at the event too.
Printed onto a sustainable cotton with certified organic inks
