The Clothworkers' Company Bursary

Designer Bookbinders is pleased to announce that The Clothworkers' Company has generously offered a bursary to those members of Designer Bookbinders who are resident in the UK. The Clothworkers' Company has supported the Bookbinding Competition over the past few years with prizes in the Open Choice category. With so many bookbinding courses closing down recently, they are concerned about the lack of training opportunities in the UK for serious bookbinders to broaden and develop there skills. To help address the situation, the Clothworkers' Company is offering small bursaries totalling £900 to fund the cost of attending any short course in bookbinding such as DB/SoB workshops, master-classes, conferences, or other training events which take place either in the UK or abroad. Further instructions on how to apply for a bursary are included on the Application Form (PDF). For more information about The Clothworkers' Company, please visit their website.
