Wayne Hart Skydives for QEST!
10th February 2026
In celebration of QEST’s 35th Anniversary in 2025, QEST Alumni Wayne Hart announced that he would fundraise for QEST by skydiving on 30 May 2026.
“I am raising money for QEST to help the charity continue investing in the makers and conservators of the future. QEST has been highly supportive of my own journey since my scholarship in 2011. The charity is a real pillar for the continuation of craftsmanship in the UK and deserves the support to be able to continue its noble work.”
Wayne hopes to raise £1,000 for QEST which will support our mission to transform the careers of talented and aspiring makers by funding training and education, creating pathways to excellence, and strengthening the future of the UK’s craft sector.

Wayne is a 2011 QEST Scholar & Scholar Ambassador. He is an award-winning lettercutter, lettering artist and typographer based in Hertfordshire. He was first introduced to lettercutting while studying typography at Reading University and his work is drawn and carved by hand in both stone and wood. A QEST Scholarship allowed him to complete his formal training with an apprenticeship under Pip Hall in Cumbria. Wayne set up his own studio in 2012 following the end of his apprenticeship. His commissions to date have included the memorial to C S Lewis for Westminster Abbey and a public art project for the Maison de la Culture in Amiens, France.
