Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council

The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council was founded in 1908 and today itstill carries forward its original remit to encourage, stimulate and promotethe pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship and design amongst all those inthe United Kingdom engaged in Silversmithing, Goldsmithing, Jewelleryand the Allied Crafts.

The central aim of the Council is to organise and conduct its prestigiousannual awards. By investigating the current and future craftsmanship needsof the profession the competition has become diverse and wide-ranging,embracing every aspect of craft and design activity currently being practicedin the industry. It is truly a unique competition to which there is no parallelin the UK. All the work entered is judged by skilled and experiencedpractitioners drawn from their specialist fields of expertise within theprofession. These professionals endorse the high standards and objectivesset by the Council, thus validating the status and quality of these awards.

The Council promotes and encourages participation in the competition bymeans of exhibitions at Goldsmiths' Hall and other trade exhibitions such asIJL Earls Court London. The Council's remit and challenge for the future isto continue to encourage and promote the superb levels of skill and diversitythat constitute a world-class industry in the UK.

Chairman’s Address

The Council has been running it's National Competition for over ahundred years, promoting and recognising the excellence in our crafts.I am privileged to be Chairman of such an illustrious organisation withsuch an outstanding heritage. I follow in the footsteps of a mosteminent list of people, including my predecessor Mark Gartell, who isnow on our executive committee. His devotion to our craft haswidened our opportunities to promote the Council's mission ofexcellence in skills. Mark has also been instrumental in setting up aJewellery and Manufacturing course at the DT department at MariaFidelis School in Camden, together with the London Jewellery First,and the City Fringe Partnership.

My task is only made possible by the support of our elected council members who give theirtime, experience, and enthusiasm freely. Our Secretary Brian Marshall, and assistant BarryMoss are fundamental in the administration of the council. I thank them all for theircontinued dedication to the cause.

The Craft Council has been active this year in continuing it's promotion of this competitionat public events.

Our stand at the International Jewellery London, with thanks to Reed International for theircontinued sponsorship, has given the council a platform to show the industry the talent that ison our doorstep. It also showcases to overseas buyers/visitors the potential the UK has in it'syoung and emerging jeweller/silversmiths.

The second year of Coutts London Jewellery Week gave us an opportunity to promote theCouncil's aims with a stand at 'Treasure' held in Covent Garden. This event brought us closer tothe designer maker and, just as importantly, to the buying public, who are becoming more awareof the value and quality of the product. Exposure to the younger members of the public inparticular, is so important as it gives them the opportunity to see the possibilities of a career thatcan start with as little as a saw and a file.

We are grateful to our like minded sponsors for their continued support in our efforts to promotethe Industry to the young, and to encourage quality and the raising of standards throughout.Their generosity in terms of both time and funding can be large or small, and sometimesunbelievably generous. I thank them all on the behalf of the Council for their continued support.The names of all the Patrons, Sponsors and Contributors are found in the catalogue. I encourageyou to seek out these people as they are always keen to see or hear of your successes.

Ours is a tradition that is built on a history of quality in both making and design. That traditionwill continue but I also applaud the way it is able to adapt to change. The broadening of thecompetition to recognise the 'new skills' is fundamental in keeping pace with the developments inthe industry, and is reflected in both the craft and design sections. I intend to lead the councilforward to embrace these new technologies but always to retain our heritage of hand skills.
