June 2020: Goldsmiths Career Catalyst Grant

Over the moon to have received one of four Goldsmiths Career Catalyst grants with a prize of £5,000. The grant will enable us to study in depth, intensive and bespoke lapidary techniques with our partners up in Whitby. Mike and Sandra have 85 years worth of experience between them in stone cutting and this will completely change our work… very, very exciting!

The Goldsmiths’ Centre has awarded Career Catalyst Grants, worth up to £5,000, to silversmith Kyosun Jung and jewellers Lucie Gledhill, Jacqueline Cullen and Filipa Oliviera. Supported by the Goldsmiths’ Company Charity and the Radcliffe Trust, these grants enable those working in the jewellery, silversmithing and allied industries to innovate and grow their knowledge and skills through ambitious learning experiences.

Kyosun Jung, Lucie Gledhill, Jacqueline Cullen and Filipa Oliviera were selected through a virtual judging process, consisting of Goldsmiths’ Centre Trustees and industry experts. All the finalists successfully demonstrated that a grant would help them to develop an innovative approach to their practice and enrich the goldsmithing industry as a whole.

Jacqueline Cullen, a renowned Whitby Jet specialist and innovator, will be training in lapidary to develop her gemstone knowledge with two of the UK’s few remaining experts – Mike and Sandra Walford. By upskilling, she will help to safeguard these endangered skills and adapt her business, so that she passes on her knowledge to future makers.
