NAJ Membership Manager Joins GC&DC Walk-In Wednesday on August 14th

31 Jul 2024

The Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council (GC&DC) Exhibition presents Award-Winning Work from the 2023/4 competition at the Goldsmiths’ Centre, London. Enjoy the stunning display of creative designs and handcrafted jewellery, silversmithing, and objets d’art from emerging and established designers, makers, and artisans.

On select Wednesdays until the 12th of September, the GC&DC team will be at the Centre from 10:30 to 4 p.m. to chat, guide, coach, and offer advice and experiences.

On Wednesday, July 14th, GC&DC Trustee Judith Lockwood will be joined by Paul Smith, the newly appointed Membership Manager for the NAJ. The NAJ is the leading voice for the UK Jewellery industry, supporting professional excellence for more than 1400 member companies and helping them to protect, promote, prepare, and be legally compliant, profitable, and responsible. They are the industry voice.

Paul has spent several years in the UK jewellery industry and has experienced first-hand the values and benefits the NAJ can bring to its members. He sees this Walk-in Wednesday as a great opportunity to meet current NAJ members in a relaxed and informal setting and, more importantly, to create awareness of the benefits membership can bring to makers, designers, workshops, small businesses, and trade individuals.

If this is you, come along to learn about membership that could be right for you as a designer/maker, ways to protect your designs and ideas, and discounts for exhibiting or attending industry events and exhibitions.

This event is FREE – drop in anytime between 10:30am – 4pm on the 14TH
