Deptford Design Weekend to be the ‘Creative Hub’ of London Design Festival

DD07 once again presents the cream of Lewisham and Greenwich design with open studios, events, exhibitions and activities from the 14th - 16th September 2007, showcasing cutting-edge design and Deptford’s impressive portfolio of local talent.

Based around the buzzing streets of Creekside, in the heart of SE8, DD07 will provide an exciting opportunity to see behind the scenes of a diverse mixture of established and new designers. Cockpit Arts will open the doors to 65 designer-makers’ work spaces between 11am and 6pm revealing a treasure trove of jewellery, fashion and interior products. You’ll be able to chat to the designer-makers about their work methods and inspirations and browse or buy goodies ranging from the Jonathan Wade’s striking ceramics to Linda Florence’s vibrant bespoke wall-paper or the bold textiles of Rebecca Oldfield.

Downstairs The Deptford Project Café is the place to hang out, read the special edition DD07 newspaper and take advantage of the perfect mix of tasty refreshments and on-site exhibitions including a sensuous felt, crochet and knitted piece by textile designer Sara Kotch or a taste of Grace & Go’s contemporary home ware. And if you’ve got something bigger in mind, Binita Walia will be exhibiting a model of one of her large-scale architectural glass panel installations.
