Join QEST's first Zoom masterclass for 2025 where we will explore how you can practically enhance sustainability in your craft practice.
Hosted by QEST and Heritage Crafts, we will be joined by guest speakers and winners of the 2024 QEST and Heritage Crafts Sustainability Award - glass artist Allister Malcolm and jeweller and metalworker Rachael Colley.
Allister and Rachael will explore the ways they've reduced the environmental impact of their craft practice, how they've measured their success and how you can communicate your sustainability story effectively.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn practical tips from your craft peers and be inspired to apply for the 2025 QEST and Heritage Crafts Sustainability Award - applications are now open and close on July 1: www.heritagecrafts.org.uk
