Big Names Get Set for Make Your Mark

“We are introducing the Panel this year in response to the huge popularity of talks at previous Make Your Mark events,” explains Dr Robert Organ, Deputy Warden of the Goldsmiths’ Company Assay Office.

“The success of Make Your Mark in 2014 and 2015 proved that there is huge demand for advice and inspiration among students wanting to set out on careers in precious metals and so this year, alongside the very popular talks by Theo Fennell and Michael Wainwright - where time for questions is often very limited - we wanted to give students a chance to ask our panel of experts any of their trade-related questions.”

Confirmed panellists, who will be answering visitor questions during morning and afternoon sessions on Wednesday 2 November at Make Your Mark are:

• Elizabeth Bone, Studio Jeweller, Tutor and Author
• Monique Daniels, Jeweller
• Percy Emmett, Trainer and Coach
• Ruth Faulkner, Editor of Retail Jeweller
• Louisa Pacifico, Chief Executive of Craft Central

“We are very excited to have been able to bring together such an extraordinary group of partners who want to share their expertise and who passionately support the UK’s jewellery making, silverware and precious metal trades,” continues Robert. “With the addition of the Panel this year we hope to give students and their tutors an even more rewarding experience.”

Information about the programme of talks and Q&A sessions will be published shortly. In the meantime, students are encouraged to submit their questions in advance on social media:
