Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council 2020 Award Winner

Known as the Oscars of the jewellery industry, each year the Goldsmith’s Craft & Design Council attracts over 600 competition entries from talented UK based designers and craftspeople. The showcase presents award-winning work ranging from jewellery to tableware and objet d’art.

The Theo Fennell Master & Apprentice Award is an award specifically designed to highlight, celebrate and record the importance and unique partnership between the quality craft skills of an apprentice and their master. This exciting incentive and special award aims to promote high quality apprentice work and equally recognise the significant contribution of their skilled master. Therefore, the award is looking to attract, identify and celebrate high standards of hand craft skills across any apprentice discipline from work submitted in the competition. This special award is for an apprentice and their master alike.

The winner of the Theo Fennell Master & Apprentice Award 2020 Alexander Wood and his Master Nathanial Groves created a beautiful piece crafted in Sterling Silver.
