Silver Space: a hub for silversmithing in the North

Our shared vision is to create a northern hub for silversmithing, where knowledge and skills are developed and silversmiths can forge the networks they need to thrive.
Makers, students and fellows have access to a fully equipped silversmithing facility, whether hiring a bench space or joining a skills training programme.
Four alumni from the Silver Space showcased their beautiful pieces at Goldsmiths North in 2023.
