Introducing Ripple, a stunning sculpture by artist Katharina Fitz, greeting visitors as they enter Broadway. Inspired by the intricate beauty of a wild bee’s nest, Ripple is fixed along a branch of the striking silver birch tree on Broadway’s outdoor terrace.

Recently we had the pleasure of catching up with Nate Coltrane, Founder and Director of MIMM (Music Is My Motive) and Nottingham Street Food Club.

To wrap up 2023, Future Makers successfully completed an exciting 8-week Product Design Accelerator Course in collaboration with Rory Dickens from Sustainable Design Studio.

Our Future Makers team recently went on an inspiring trip to Interplas 2023, hosted at the Birmingham NEC. The event was a goldmine of insights and innovations in the world of plastics sustainability.

Plastic. It’s an international problem. It’s an environmental scourge. Yet, it’s a material with extraordinary properties. Our relationship with plastic is complex but it’s something we desperately need to set some new boundaries with if we’re going to tackle our environmental challenges.

We are proud to announce that Future Makers has secured substantial funding from both Arts Council England and Innovate UK.
