Masters

What is a Master?

Passing on your skills to a young person is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your career.

An apprentice master is the craftsman or woman who provides the hands-on training and mentoring throughout an apprentice's term.

How do I become a master?

If you are a Freeman of the Goldsmiths' Company and based in London or the South East, you are potentially eligible for financial support if you employ an Apprentice in your workshop.

We welcome enquiries from the trade with regard to becoming a Freeman. If you would be interested in applying, please visit our membership page. Alternatively if you would like an informal chat, please feel free to contact us.
