Deadline for applications is Apr 30, 2010
Conservation by Design Limited (CXD) is once again inviting
conservators and skilled book binders to apply for the renowned
Nicholas Hadgraft Memorial Scholarship, which is now in its sixth
year. The winner will receive UKP1000 towards the cost of attending
the Montefiascone Book Conservation Summer School, a unique
bookbinding course held each year in the medieval town of
Montefiascone, Italy. The school runs for four weeks during July
and August and this year's courses include Recreating the Medieval
Palette, Introduction to the Islamic Book Structure, The Biccherne
of Siena and an overview of European Paper Bindings. Each course is
taught by well known and highly regarded tutors.
We would urge anyone interested to get their completed application
form in to CXD as soon as possible as the closing date is 30 April
2010.
The scholarship is offered in memory of Dr Nicholas Hadgraft, a good
friend of Conservation By Design who died tragically in 2004.
Nicholas was a fellow of the University of the Arts London and a key
collaborator on the "Squelch Drying" technique devised by Stuart
Welch (the founder of CXD).
Application forms for this year's scholarship are available from the
CXD website
Completed applications must be received by the 30 April 2010 and the
successful applicant will be notified by May 14, 2010.
