Membership Programme and Pathways Summer to Winter 2026
Over the coming months, we’re piloting a developing membership programme designed to support progression, strengthen studio practice and create clearer pathways for members at different stages of engagement.
Alongside the summer rollout, we’re also sharing the wider proposed programme through to winter 2026 and welcome ongoing feedback, suggestions and input.
Pathways
Making Ground - Shared learning, practical development and opportunities for connection across the membership network.
Developing Practice - Supporting members building confidence, consistency and more self-directed studio practice.
Enterprise Lab - Focused on members developing professional ambitions, strategic thinking and sustainable maker practices.
As members progress through Light, Studio and Resident tiers, programming is designed to support evolving practice, independence and professional development.
