Handmade & Well Paid

 
 

Handmade & Well Paid is a campaign to help ensure makers are well paid for the work they do whilst helping customers to make good decisions about which makers to buy from.

Makers need a sustainable income in order to keep running their businesses and making their crafts.

Customers value and admire the work of handmade artists and want to support them fairly to ensure they are making a good living wage for themselves.

We at Jewellers Academy are committed to promoting this campaign and we want to invite you to do the same.

To support both sides - maker and customer, help us spread the word and get makers well paid and customers feeling confident about buying wonderful handmade work.
