Aside from the (huge!) personal challenge, I am very pleased to be raising funds for QEST. QEST award scholarships to fund further study, training and practical experience for craftsmen and women who want to improve their craft and trade skills. Your donation will make a tremendous difference to the lives of makers in this country and the tradition of British craftsmanship. Scholarship winners have included: an antiques restorer, calligraphers, book conservators, potters, silversmiths, upholsterers and many more. All of these exceptional craftsmen demonstrate their passion in upholding British traditional crafts for future generations.
