Our Awards
Cockpit makers are selected for excellence in skill, originality of ideas, drive to grow your business or practice, and ambition to make a contribution to the Cockpit community.
Funded places you can apply for are listed below – some are specific to a particular material or discipline, others are open to all makers. We run two application processes per year (in Spring for a September start, and in autumn for a January start).
If you have any questions, or are unsure whether this is for you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
