Applications are now open for Goldsmiths’ Fair 2023 – The Goldsmiths’ Company’s annual selling exhibition – which brings together the most respected buyers, collectors and curators of silver and jewellery, and the most talented UK based craftspeople working in precious metals today, within the magnificent surroundings of Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London.

The primary destination for independent jewellery and silver made in the UK, Goldsmiths’ Fair has been celebrating the work of craftspeople working in precious metals for more than four decades. With notable alumni including Shaun Leane, Polly Wales, Fred Rich, Jaqueline Mina and Cassandra Goad, Goldsmiths’ Fair offers makers the opportunity to both exhibit and sell their work to a highly engaged audience, whilst placing them within the canon of the UK’s most celebrated jewellers and silversmiths.

Amongst the stands available, Goldsmiths’ Fair also offers up to ten (10) graduate exhibitor places (with bursaries) to enable new craftspeople the chance to exhibit for the first time. The bursary covers stand fees, allows graduates to purchase a bullion loan, entitles them to a £1,500 grant towards Fair setup, and provides them with business training at the Goldsmiths’ Centre.

• Not in full time education at time of application
