Producing ceramics, stoneware and textiles, it is a social enterprise supporting the community through making. Similarly, the Wealdstone Youth Workshop, set up in 2018 by regeneration agency Spacemakers, gave north-west London teenagers who had experienced cuts to youth services the opportunity to contribute to a new public square in their neighbourhood. With designers Silo Studio, they created a multifunctional leg for stools, chairs and benches, and sold them to fundraise for the project.\r\n\nMarbled-paper lampshade \n2015–16 \nDesigned and made by Assemble and Granby Workshop, UK\nAcrylic ink, paper and wire \nMuseum no.
