Homo Faber Fellowship 2026-27
20 November 2025
Deadline: February 1, 2026
Applications have opened for the Homo Faber Fellowship, an annual eight-month sponsored craft training programme designed for duos of established artisans and craft graduates.
Participants will develop business and marketing knowledge, as well as design and hands-on practical skills through transmission from one generation to the next. This edition runs from September 2026 to April 2027 and includes a masterclass in Venice, followed by a six-month placement culminating in a showcase of co-created work.
This programme bridges the gap between today’s masters and tomorrow’s makers, helping to support the future of craft by passing on essential skills and expertise. The Fellowship is presented by the Michelangelo Foundation in partnership with Jaeger-LeCoultre and local members of the Michelangelo Foundation’s international network. QEST is proud to be the UK partner.
The Homo Faber NextGen Team are hosting two introductory webinars. Register below:
Wednesday 26 November 9-10am.
Wednesday 26 November 2-3pm.
