My process of getting into Goldsmiths North Fair with Iain Sainsbury

In this week's episode, Jess chats with Iain Sainsbury, who is the featured jeweller in the fourth episode of The Handmade Jewellers series and who recently got accepted to showcase his work at Goldsmith North, a prestigious fair for jewellers.
Ian shares his journey of applying to the fair, highlighting the challenges and decisions involved. He emphasises the importance of having a platform where people can physically engage with his jewellery, which led him to apply to Goldsmith North.
Iain describes the application process, which includes submitting a form, providing photographs of his work, and crafting an artist statement. He stresses the significance of high-quality images in presenting his collection effectively.
Additionally, Iain discusses the mental hurdles of vulnerability and perfectionism that come with putting oneself out there as an artist, reflecting on his own experiences and growth in the process.
