Understead exists to make the independent people doing things in Battle easier to find.
The teacher using a village hall, the instructor building a small school, the maker opening their workshop and the sole trader teaching from home can all be easy to miss beside national brands, large institutions and platforms with much bigger reach.
Together they are part of what makes Battle somewhere people can participate in rather than simply live beside.
Finding them, using them and telling other people about them helps keep that independent local life viable.
The potter teaching tonight's class may be the same person making work in that studio tomorrow.
Teaching helps practical skills pass between people and helps independent makers keep studios viable. Understead wants the maker themselves to be easier to find than the marketplace selling an experience around them.
