We're a charity based in the Scottish Borders that hosts the Marchmont Silversmithing Workshop, a fully-equipped silversmithing workshop which houses tools, machinery and books by the late Master silversmith Graham Stewart. The workshop supports three early career silversmiths to launch their businesses over a two-year tenancy, with guidance from an experienced mentor. The workshop also provides shorter residencies for British and international silversmiths to develop new work and participate in cultural exchange.
