Do I need to meet particular criteria to apply?
Like any business transaction, resident craftspeople contract to the Goldsmiths’ Centre for a specified period. Workshop contracts are typically a five-year lease, subject to terms and conditions. We encourage applications from ambitious jewellers, silversmiths and those working in the allied industries who need a bench or workshop to practice their craft full-time throughout the year.
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
- making workshops available for tours and visits by VIPs or press
- providing curatorial support or loaning pieces for our exhibitions or showcases
- sourcing resources, contributing specialist knowledge or writing content
- sharing free services or giving practical assistance
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.
