The Smiddy - Job Opportunities

Kate Pickering July 23, 2018

We hinted to a second Vanilla Ink location earlier in the year and now everything has been confirmed - it's happening!

With a new location comes new job opportunities. We are so pleased to announce that we have been rewarded the funding to run The Smiddy: A Centre of Excellence for Silversmithing and Jewellery in Banff, Aberdeenshire. Support has come from Aberdeenshire Council and the North Aberdeenshire LAG for LEADER.

With this exciting news we have the opportunity to hire 2 members of staff, a Workshop Co-Ordinator and a Silversmith Technician. An excellent opportunity for the right candidates to help Vanilla Ink make significant progress towards its strategic aims and objectives, they will be working in partnership with Vanilla Ink to support and champion Silversmithing and Jewellery in Scotland.

Did you know that for a period of 200 years up until the 1880’s, 24 different silversmiths worked to produce works of the finest quality for the prosperous citizens of Banff. The town had its own assay mark, and Banff Silver manufactured over this period is much collected and sought after in the present day. Examples can be seen in the Museum of Banff, Duff House and are held in a number of public and private collections locally and further afield.

Now Silversmithing in Banff is about to embark on a new journey - Vanilla Ink has successfully secured a 25-year lease on the purpose-built workshop in the Old Smiddy Building on Bridge Street, developed by Aberdeenshire Council through the Banff CARS Scheme, in order to develop an exciting new enterprise. Set just a stone throws away from the beautiful beach of Banff looking on to MacDuff, Banff is a beautiful town with lots of character and history. The Smiddy has been redeveloped to a high standard and is just waiting the arrival of the specialist tools and equipment. The Smiddy is due to open the end of September 2018.
