Discerning collectors and buyers from all over the world have discovered their masterful blend of contemporary and lavish design, made on the premises with care and passion.

To celebrate this milestone in British craftsmanship, this summer sees a succession of events held in their gallery and workshop.

In May, as part of the Brighton Festival Open Houses, The Art in Ditchling Trail is now a well-established, high quality event with 10 venues in and around the village. With the museum, excellent pubs, cafes and country walks this makes an ideal spring day out. The Pruden & Smith Gallery is open all weekend during the Festival.

In June, British silversmiths are staging British Silver Week to celebrate the renaissance in modern UK silversmithing. This promises to be one of the most exhilarating design events of 2008 when the work of over 100 of the UK′s top and upcoming silversmiths will be showcased in a series of exhibitions and events held throughout the UK. Pruden and Smith are proud to be one of those galleries.

Later in June there will be a unique opportunity to see the “Connect” touring exhibition. As founder members of the Association of British Designer Silversmiths, Pruden and Smith were one of 50 silversmiths presented with a bowl or a glass and a quantity of silver, and asked to apply their imaginations and silversmithing skills to create a unique piece on the theme of EAT & DRINK.

Visit the Pruden & Smith gallery and workshop in Ditchling to experience this precious legacy.
