QEST

QEST transforms the careers of talented and aspiring makers by funding their training and education, creating pathways to excellence and strengthening the future of the UK’s craft sector. Since 1990, the charity has awarded £7.5 million to almost 900 craftspeople working across the UK in 130 craft disciplines. Through key partnership programmes, QEST also inspires the next generation to explore craft and making careers.

QEST was founded by the Royal Warrant Holders Association to celebrate the 90th birthday of HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. HM The King is the charity’s current patron.
