How you can help…

Support our Just Giving Campaign

No matter how small, every donation helps enable designermakersCIO to continue providing a range of opportunities to access craft and art, both to our local South Norfolk community, and those further afield.

Attend our events

We have a varied programme of events at dm21, all open for public participation. One of the best ways you can help us is to attend our events,  please come along if you can:

designermakers21 is a cornucopia of craft disciplines and craft objects, where makers can be seen practicing their skills and the public can learn the joys of making.

We have low cost ‘Have a Go’ open access taster days, where the public can observe specific craft processes being demonstrated and even have a go. 

We host a range of craft skills workshops at dm21, some delivered by the in-house makers, some by visiting makers.

We curate and facilitate a programme of exhibitions; showcasing upcoming & established makers and presenting in depth expositions of craft processes.
