Anyone renting space at the Goldsmiths’ Centre is contributing financially to our charitable activities. For many resident craftspeople, the fact that their rent is helping the next generation of goldsmiths to get started in their careers is a real incentive to work here.    

As part of our community, we expect resident craftspeople to adhere to our “charitable contract”, sharing their specific skills and expertise by: 

• teaching on our courses or speaking at events 
• providing work placements or work experience for current and potential trainees

The Goldsmiths’ Centre is the only work space where you get the added benefits of networking, access to industry experts, brand exposure and the guarantee that you will not be hidden in a basement; there is also the chance to give something back to the industry you work in.
