Advancing sustainability in your practice

QEST and Heritage Crafts’ Zoom masterclass on 8 April 2025 explored how makers can practically enhance sustainability in their craft practice. Hosted by The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST) and Heritage Crafts, we were joined by guest speakers and winners of the 2024 QEST and Heritage Crafts Sustainability Award – glass artist Allister Malcolm and jeweller and metalworker Rachael Colley.

Applications for the 2025 QEST and Heritage Crafts Sustainability Award are now open, closing on Tuesday 1 July 2025. This award recognises craftspeople across the UK who have taken significant steps to reduce their environmental impact and improve the sustainability of their craft practices. Apply here.
