The Goldsmiths’ Centre puts twelve creative and talented emerging jewellers and silversmiths in the spotlight
14 Jun 2023
Twelve creative and talented emerging jewellers and silversmiths - Molly Wu, Lucy Pearl Petts, Samantha Snow, Charlotte Smith, Mizuki Tochigi, Amy Findlay, Kristina Merchant, Gina Cheun, Seongmin Kim, Kathryn Reid, Monica Findlay and Connie Fung - will be put centre stage this summer as part of the Goldsmiths’ Centre’s “Spotlighting Getting Started” programme.
Each year the Goldsmiths’ Centre supports emerging makers to thrive, connect and collectively grow their skills and start-up businesses. All spot-lit participants were selected by guest judges, communications specialist Nyasha Daley and journalist, Rachael Taylor and the Goldsmiths’ Centre team, from a cohort of 100 designer makers, who successfully completed the Goldsmiths’ Centre’s one-week introduction to business course, Getting Started Online in 2023. The Goldsmiths’ Centre team is delighted to offer follow-on business skills training, helping them to speak and present their work confidently in person and online through a series of online Meet the Maker events and exposure to its 21k @gsmithscentre Instagram followers.
Charlotte Dew, Public Programme Manager at the Goldsmiths’ Centre explains: “This year we received an exceptional standard of applications for the Spotlighting Getting Started initiative. We are very excited to be showcasing our largest cohort to date, continuing to give emerging makers vital support and feedback beyond their time on Getting Started Online. We encourage the jewellery industry and members of the public to help us champion their talent at our next Meet the Maker event.”
