An Exhibition of Craft, First Floor
Fortnum & Mason has established a reputation for supporting excellent British craftsmanship, and this fourth exhibition celebrates handmade crafts created by Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust scholars in honour of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Thirty-two QEST scholars present their crafts for sale from 6 February to 29 July 2012 (extended until Sun 5 August), and are also happy to discuss commissions and personalised items.
Under the patronage of the Royal Warrant Holders’ Association, QEST enables talented craftsmen and women
to fulfil their potential through education and apprenticeships. QEST’s 2012 Diamond Jubilee Fundraising Appeal aims to raise funds to double their annual scholarships.
