Meet the makers and discover what you can make!

Produced by Derby Museums, Assemble is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, which celebrates making in all its shapes and forms. The last event in 2024 saw audiences of over 1,000 in attendance and featured more than 60 makers on-site, with demonstrations in everything from ceramics and embroidery to laser-cutting, weaving, jewellery-making, metalwork, robotics and automata. Visitors were invited to take part in a variety of special workshops and this year we are welcoming back Aardman animations to host three exciting workshops.

Assemble brings together artists and makers from varied disciplines to share their passion and skills with the public and to encourage others to have a go at making themselves. For makers, Assemble offers an opportunity to share creative passions and skills, to network with other makers and artists and to inspire makers of the future, all in the glorious surroundings of the Museum of Making, a UNESCO World Heritage that is widely regarded to be the site of the world’s first factory.
