SILVERSMITHING
We want to ensure that the craft of silversmithing continues. The number of courses in the UK has declined in recent years, with the focus being more on jewellery. The cost of buying silver can be a real problem, and we have started a programme to help final-year undergraduate students acquire the necessary raw material, as well as supporting postgraduate silversmiths in the development of their craft skills
