SUPPORT FOR CONTEMPORARY BRITISH SILVERSMITHS
Contemporary British Silversmiths is the leading membership association for contemporary silver in the United Kingdom.
The CBS Charity arm supports the association’s objectives to advance, maintain and develop the craft of contemporary British silversmithing and design nationally and internationally. It offers subsidised exhibition opportunities and training, aiming to enable artists and artistic practices to develop by raising individual profiles, nurturing creative talent and expanding audiences through public engagement.
“Being part of CBS has hugely helped me grow as a silversmith. I’ve been able to learn new skills without financial constraints and to push my making skills, paving the way to becoming an established practitioner.”
