Forging Futures
At FORGE, we are committed to championing the next generation of jewellery and silversmithing talent through our Forging Futures programme.
In 2026, the programme entered a new chapter with the launch of the FORGE Graduate Awards, a prestigious, fully supported opportunity recognising graduates whose work demonstrates innovation, distinctive design, technical excellence and exceptional creative potential.
The programme combines complimentary exhibition opportunities in our street-level showroom with practical training, industry networking and professional exposure. Award recipients receive support in areas including pricing, range planning and selling their work, alongside opportunities to connect with leading suppliers, organisations, consultants and specialists at our Meet the Experts Link-Up.
Through this programme, FORGE supports emerging makers as they take their first steps into professional practice and begin forging their futures.
