JACQUELINE CULLEN: MASTER OF CRAFT
Jacqueline Cullen has just received the BALVENIE and DAILY TELEGRAPH MASTERS OF CRAFT award in the stone category. The award recognises and promotes the very best of British hand made craft and was judged by Kevin McCloud, the presenter of Channel 4’s Grand Designs.

It is proving to be an extremely exciting year for Jacqueline. She is currently being mentored by GEORGIA FENDLEY, the brand director for MULBERRY as part of CRAFTED run by Arts and Business and Walpole. This is such an amazing opportunity to work with a leader in her field with an incredible energy and clarity of vision. Georgia Fendley has said of the partnership:
“I was delighted to have been partnered with Jacqueline Cullen, her work is strong, beautiful and a wonderful example of Great British craft. Jacqueline is passionate about her work and this is evident in everything she does, her commitment to her vision is unwavering even if it means taking the harder path… Jacqueline has a unique product with a really engaging narrative in creation and amazing provenance and this is something with which mass produced luxury brands can't compete. I think intelligent consumers are looking for this authenticity and truly value the hand crafted, the rare and the really beautiful."

Jacqueline has previously found success with high profile clients with DEBORAH MEADEN wearing two pieces from the crystal collection during the whole of the last series of DRAGON’S DEN and the HARRY POTTER film franchise commissioned her to make a collection of jet accessories for evil character NARCISSA.

Jacqueline Cullen will be unveiling a new super luxe collection of exquisitely crafted hand carved Whitby jet jewellery combined with black diamonds or 18CT gold granulation with champagne diamonds at Goldsmiths’ Fair week two (stand 25) 4th to 9th of October.
