Homo Faber Fellowship 25-26 Call for Participation

3rd December 2024

QEST is proud to be the UK partner for the Homo Faber Fellowship, an exceptional 7-month sponsored programme for talented duos of master artisans and emerging makers. The programme will run from September 2025, offering participants a unique opportunity to grow both professionally and creatively.

The Homo Faber Fellowship includes a month-long entrepreneurial masterclass and a 6-month sponsored placement in a master artisan’s workshop. Participants will have the chance to develop vital business and marketing knowledge, receive design mentoring, and acquire hands-on practical skills through a dynamic exchange between master artisans and the next generation of craftspeople.

This programme bridges the gap between today’s masters and tomorrow’s makers, helping to secure the future of craftsmanship by passing on essential skills and expertise.
