The Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council

The Council is formed as a Community Interest Company (CIC), run as a social not for profit enterprise, where all funds are used in the promotion of craftsmanship within the jewellery industry. The Council is governed by a committee of 24 trade based individuals from which a Chairman and Vice Chairman are drawn. Council members are recruited through a process of nomination and election through a democratic process, and give their time freely and generously in order to maintain the Council’s work.

The central aim of the Craft & Design Council is to promote excellence in the craft through its prestigious annual awards. The Council’s members, elected volunteers, give their time in organising and managing the annual Competition, Awards Ceremony and subsequent Exhibition held at Goldsmiths’ Hall.
