British Craftsmanship is a European Treasure. To support it, London Craft Week was created, “an annual event which showcases fine craftsmanship over a journey-of-discovery program featuring peculiar workshops and unknown makers alongside celebrated master artisans, renowned studios, art galleries, shops and luxury brands.” This is what you can find at London Craft Week.

Now speaking of Guy Salter, he is de Chairman of London Craft Week, he said that “London Craft Week is a response to a renaissance in the appreciation of creativity and craft; to the role of hand, head, unique skills and true talent. It is another example of what, at its best, the world’s creative capital does so well – mixing glamourwith cutting edge; heritage and contemporary and the commercial with the cultural”.

Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust was created a long time ago, on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother’s 90th Birthday and it has one important mission that remains until today: “to maintain Britain’s cultural heritage by supporting excellence in British craftsmanship through funding the training and education of talented and aspiring craftsmen.”

A very important thing to know about Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust is that they encourage true skill, knowledge, respect for traditions and innovation.
