The Esther Benjamin's Trust

Following an interview last Friday I am very excited to say I will be travelling to Nepal to start teaching jewellery in the beginning of May! I will be working with the Esther Benjamin's Trust to help train up new jewellers working on a social enterprise project in Kathmandu. The trust works helping victims of trafficking, former street children and vulnerable people specifically in Nepal.

I got to find out about Silversmith Nic Turnbull's time teaching with the trust at a talk she did last Friday at Bishopsland. Nic set up the workshop last August and the jewellery made in the workshop is already selling at tourist spots in Kathmandu and at events in the UK.

I will be visiting Nepal for three months with the charity so look out for more information and updates of the projects progress!

To raise money for the charity I will be doing a raffle of three pieces of my work so please get involved!
