QEST Scholarship and RWHA & QEST Luncheon
I am delighted to have been awarded Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (2021 QEST William Parker Scholar) award where I have been given an opportunity to develop new techniques in merging lapidary with fine gold wirework.
Through scholarship, I have been fortunate to study under world-renowned goldsmiths and lapidarist and I can’t wait to create series of works that reveal my training, and to showcase my work at exhibitions and galleries in the near future.

“The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) funds the education of talented and aspiring craftspeople through traditional college courses, apprenticeships or one-to-one training with master craftspeople. QEST was established to help support craftspeople of all ages, from all backgrounds and at critical stage in their careers and thus sustain traditional British craftsmanship. As a charity of the Royal Warrant Holders Association, QEST was established in 1990 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Association and the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. Since 1990 the Trust has awarded over £4.3 million to over 500 craftspeople, across 130 craft disciplines. In May 2017 HRH The Prince of Wales became the charity’s Patron with Vice-Patrons The Earl of Snowdon and the Marquess of Salisbury.”
