Making it Big aims to inspire designer-makers and visual artists and equip them to apply for large-scale commissions, run public workshops and create interventions as part of a portfolio career.

The symposium will look at the wealth of transferable skills developed as a maker and show how makers can develop and use those skills outside conventional making practice to produce large scale work for a variety of clients and communities. It will outline the opportunities and provide practical information and inspirational role models.
