The Goldsmiths' Centre is a visionary new development for the jewellery and silversmithing industries and their allied trades, the local community and the general public - a unique space in which to learn, work and relax.

It will offer fully-equipped training workshops and design studios, managed workspace, conference and exhibition space and a café that is open to the public. The Centre's mission is to support creativity, craftsmanship and community with an emphasis upon the craft of the goldsmith or 'worker in precious metal.

ROCKS EXHIBITION
From 21 May we’re taking part in Chelsea Fringe – a festival celebrating and encouraging us all to engage with our landscape, gardening and the natural world. As part of the Fringe we are creating our own rock garden (sponsored by Indoor Garden Design) in the atrium, surrounded by work from jewellers and goldsmiths’ whose inspiration comes from geological formations.
We don’t stop there, come and enjoy some of the events that we have alongside the exhibition…
