“I’m a young goldsmith with a passion for all things metal, hoping to delve deeper into antique conservation in the future. I can’t wait to embark on this journey with the QEST Youth Advisory Board to improve entry routes and inclusivity for young people within the heritage craft sector.” 

Luke is six months into a three-year apprenticeship in traditional goldsmithing and Japanese Tosogu, an ancient decorative metalworking technique. With a background in art, Luke is dedicated to addressing barriers young people face in entering craft careers, promoting equal opportunities, and challenging the exclusivity of terms like ‘natural talent.’
