Story
QEST supports the training and education of talented and aspiring makers by funding college courses, vocational training, apprenticeships, and one-to-one training with a master craftsperson.
QEST has awarded over £5.5million to 800 individuals working across the UK in 130 different craft disciplines. From guitar making to printmaking; thatching to enamelling, we embrace craft in all its many forms and are proud to contribute towards its evolving tradition.
Alongside the scholarship and apprenticeship programmes, QEST has partnered with the National Saturday Club to establish Craft&Making Saturday Clubs for 13-16 year olds across the UK, with the hope to grow a new generation of professional craftspeople and makers.
