Throughout 2019 & 2020 The Smiddy is working with Historic Environment Scotland, Craft Scotland, Aberdeenshire Council’s Community Learning & Development team and local young people on this exciting project based around Duff House in Banff.

Students will be working with our silversmith, Megan Falconer, to develop skills and create work inspired by the local gem that is Duff House. They will learn about the historical links to silversmithing in Banff and modern & traditional techniques used in silversmithing.

Here we have Artur, who is on the second phase of this project, showing great skills in concentration, patience and listening while operating the blow torch to perfect his lidded box.
