Elizabeth Handforth, Caroline McNeill-Moss and Victoria Radcliffe are three of the current participants in the Starter Studio Programme for Designer Silversmiths & Jewellers, based at Yorkshire Artspace, Persistence Works, Sheffield.

Their new ‘Precious Little Gems’ pieces, commissioned by Sheffield Assay Office, have recently gone on display in the Millennium Gallery.

In this illustrated talk, they will be discussing what it’s like to be a silversmith in Sheffield today; their inspirations, training and design ideas and how they hope to develop their careers.
