We will not meet during the SILVER Legnica Festival, which
programme is rescheduled for next year.
We are sorry that months of efforts and work cannot be culminated with remarkable exhibitions. That this year this place will be empty, quiet, and we won't be able to watch, admire, learn, share and reward silver art.
This year our Festival lost to the pandemic, and we have prepared Silver On-line instead. 8th to 10th of May for a whole month. Therefore, in this difficult time, we would like to transfer into the web. We prepared many attractions in our social media and websites. https://www.facebook.com/legnickifestiwal.srebro.1
and http://galeria.legnica.eu/silver-online/
Share your reflections, present how you creatively spend time at home, upload your photos and recordings to the event on Facebook – Silver On!line https://www.facebook.com/events/164269345002274/.
We would also like to remind you that the 29th Legnica International Jewellery Competition STILL
HUMAN? and an award gala will take place during the Legnica SILVER Festival in May 2021. Deadline
for submitting works is May 31, 2020. For more details, check our website:

Open call for makers and creative practitioners
Are you a maker, designer or artist, perhaps you are a writer with a passion for storytelling or a creative practitioner with an interest in heritage?
During the lockdown, we want to continue to support the arts community. We are looking to hear from creative practitioners with potential designs and ideas inspired by our building and its history. We are particularly interested in hearing from makers with a view to developing an exclusive Hive product range for future retail and online sales.
Working closely with The Hive, the successful artist(s) will be offered an initial commission of £500 to develop their design idea or prototype.
What we are looking for
How to apply
Please send a short expression of interest and a little about you and your practice, no more than 500 words, a current CV and any links to your website or digital portfolio you would like us to consider. We also welcome applications via alternative methods, such as video and audio. We encourage applications from currently under-represented groups in craft and heritage industries.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss access to our archives to develop your idea. All enquiries and submissions to Naomi.Clarke@rmlt.org.uk
Deadline: 24th May 2020

The Goldsmiths Craft & Design Council have two design challenges, the closing date is 31st May.
In an effort to keep our community designing, creating and sharing, we have partnered with our Patrons & Sponsors to launch two mini 2D design challenges for jewellers and silversmiths respectively.
These challenges are in keeping with the spirit of our annual competition, but with the aim of engaging our creative community in a brief, light-hearted and focussed challenge with some exciting prizes to be won! The submission deadline for both 2D design challenges is midnight on Sunday 31 May 2020.
· Love in Lockdown – 2D Jewellery Design Project in collaboration with Special Patron, Brown & Newirth
· Reunion – 2D Silversmithing Design Project in collaboration with Patron, Champagne Gosset & Sponsor, a silversmithing Sponsor
We are very encouraged by the community engagement we have had so far and hope that these challenges will allow us to continue spreading our mission of promoting creativity, design and excellence in our industries as we transition into to a new way of working.

With a background in silversmithing, design and business leadership, Richard has successfully created beautiful silverware for the likes of Formula One and Rolls Royce for almost four decades.
His primary focus will be championing the trade of silversmiths, jewellers and allied industries during his year in office.
Commenting on his appointment and the year ahead, Richard says: “This will doubtless be a challenging year for the Company and for our craft, trade and allied industries whose business have virtually come to a standstill since the crisis began in March. I am deeply passionate about our industry – which I believe is world-class – and am committed to doing what I can to support it during my time as Prime Warden.”

Congratulations Helen Carnac:
Helen Carnac has long been a presence at the Institute of Making, delivering enamelling activities at open days and through masterclasses. After training in metal and related arts in the UK and Germany, Helen's practice developed into studio-work, advocacy, curation, teaching, mentoring, and writing. Helen has worked with many materials in numerous contexts but her area of expertise is the combination of vitreous enamel and steel; a process and material most usually found in an industrial context but one that she explores as an artist.
