Charlotte Smith was awarded the Trust's Artist in Residence bursary for 2023/24 in November 2023.

Charlotte won two silver awards in the 2023 Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Awards and is developing a collection of pieces using opaque enamel. As well as creating jewellery, Charlotte is also working as a teacher one or two days a week, continuing on from her previous job as a full time Design & Technology teacher between 2010 and 2022.
