QEST Scholarship Grant

I am so pleased to announce that I have been awarded one of the QEST grants for 2020. It will allow me to undertake in depth training with Andy Doig at The Neon School in Brighton. I will be undertaking 4 one week sessions with Andy, between each block I will then head back to my studio to practice and develop the skills that I have been taught.

ABOUT QEST: 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 £4.9 million to over 550 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. www.qest.org.uk
