The Jointworks join us as long-standing Main Partner for Birmingham Design Festival

Supporting Birmingham Design Festival from The Jointworks

We’re really pleased to be supporting the Birmingham Design Festival again this year – aside from how great the festival always is, it’s also a no brainer given the BDF team call The Jointworks home.

The Jointworks is a creative workspace and events space in the Jewellery Quarter, home to a mix of creative teams, freelancers and small businesses working across design, digital, architecture and the wider creative industries. It’s a shared space built around the idea that good work happens when people are working alongside each other, not in isolation.

We’re also home to the Birmingham Design team and the Birmingham Design Shop, both of which have been part of shaping and supporting the local design community for many years. Having them based here means The Jointworks has always had a strong connection to Birmingham’s wider design scene, from day-to-day work through to events, talks and collaborations.

A big part of what happens here is simply that mix of people and practices in one building. Ideas cross over, conversations happen in the kitchen and projects tend to grow out of those informal connections as much as anything more structured.

We’re proud to be part of this creative community, and to support initiatives like BDF that help bring it together across the city.

“It’s great to support Birmingham Design Festival again this year. It’s part of the creative fabric of the city, and it’s something a lot of people here genuinely look forward to.

We’re lucky to have BDF co-founders Luke and Dan based here at The Jointworks, so we see first-hand how much energy and care goes into the festival and the wider community around it.

It’s nice to play a small part in supporting something that brings people together in Birmingham in a really positive way.”
