Explore the work of 15 emerging jewellers and silversmiths at the Goldsmiths’ Centre’s Spotlighting Getting Started exhibition. The show features over 50 handcrafted designs that celebrate innovation and excellence in making – from Japonisme-inspired nature motifs and marine life frozen in wax and cast in metal to reclaimed glass reimagined with gemstones and inventive stone-setting.
All exhibitors are alumni of the Goldsmiths’ Centre’s Getting Started Online business training programme, where they developed essential skills for launching their creative businesses. Following the course, they were invited to apply for the Spotlighting Getting Started exhibition and follow-on training, with selections made by industry experts, jewellery journalist Rachael Taylor and jeweller Darren Sherwood of Mr Sherwood.
