STORE is an association of artists, architects and designers working between London and Rotterdam towards a common goal: supporting more young people from underrepresented backgrounds applying to creative courses, and addressing the social imbalance in art, design and architecture education. STORE projects comprise three core elements: an educational programme, socially engaged practice and diverse public events.

 

In our educational programme, young people learn with practicing artists and designers to discover and develop their creative talents, learn practical skills, grow confidence and build portfolios in art and design.

We organise a wide range of public events. STORE exists to facilitate the sharing of design skills and knowledge between experienced practitioners, aspiring students and the general public. We are working to ensure that the next generation of architects, artists and designers better reflect the communities they work for and live in.

As a Community Interest Company STORE’s associates apply their knowledge and skills to projects that directly address current socio-economic challenges.

We’ve just launched our Makers Manual Vol 3 online and in store come on through.

In collaboration with exciting makers we have created a series of downloadable Makers Manuals for different things you can make at home.

Join us for a free After School Cub in November with Kimberley Cookey-Gam from Crochet Cookey. Students will learn how to make a balaclava, applying traditional techniques and sustainable materials into a contemporary wearable product.

Join us for a free after school club run by ReCollective. We will explore how waste is processed, bringing together principles central to natural building techniques and the circular economy.

You are invited to our LDF launch of our After School Clubs and Summer School products over the past 5 months of STORE STORE. Encouraging and exposing alternative ways of learning, making and sharing.

Join our Hackney Public Workshops and bring new ideas and objects into your home. STORE Public Workshops are guided by expert makers with all proceeds supporting our educational program for state school students.

In our online shop you will find a variety of homeware, accessories and furniture designed and made by both students from the After School Club and local makers based around the UK.
