Now in its second edition, the biennial Rising Star Craft Award – brought to you by Sanderson and the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust – celebrates emerging craftspeople who demonstrate exceptional skill, dedication to their discipline, and a meaningful contribution to their community and the wider craft sector.
Nominations open on Monday 13th April and close on Friday 5 June, with nominations open to UK makers. Entries must be submitted by a credible referee and are limited to early-to-mid career craftspeople with two to seven years of professional practice, who demonstrate strong foundational skill, commitment to their craft, and ongoing development of their expertise.
The selection process includes an interview at Voysey House – Sanderson’s historic headquarters and home to its design studios and archive – followed by an award ceremony in October. The winner will receive a £25,000 prize to support the development of their craft.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
