Freya Bletsoe, Polishing

Freya Bletsoe, from Bridgend, is a part-time local councillor transitioning careers to focus on the polishing of silver and gold, particularly regalia and trophies. Her training bursary received in 2025, has funded a six-month, flexible one-to-one training programme with master polisher Stephen Goldsmith at his workshop in Somerset.

Freya’s bursary was supported by the Angelicat Trust.
