We all collect life experiences that inspire us. Meet four early career jewellers, Shirani Fernando, Emma Lawrence and Samantha Sloane, as they take centre stage and share their fascinating stories in the limelight. They’ve recently taken part in business training as part of Spotlighting Getting Started, and are excited to tell you about their career journey, jewellery practice and inspiration behind their work.

By listening in to our online Meet the Maker events, you’re not only championing the best newcomers in the jewellery and silversmithing industry. You’re also helping them to grow in confidence, whilst finding out what it takes to start out as a jeweller or silversmith.

What is Spotlighting Getting Started?

Our Spotlighting Getting Started programme helps start-ups to put what they have learnt during Getting Started Online, a one-week introduction to business course, into action. Through practical assignments, participants learn how to photograph their work, speak live to the camera and prepare their pieces for our annual Spotlighting Getting Started exhibition.
