Subject: Fellowship at Historic Scotland
Conservation fellowship in Stained Glass Historic Scotland Historic Scotland Scottish Conservation Bureau <URL:http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk> in conjunction with Cannon-MacInnes of Glasgow is offering a two-year Fellowship in the conservation and restoration of stained glass from 2003-2005. Annual stipend is UKP14,500, with annual travel and study allowance of UKP1500. The Fellowship will be based in the studios of Linda Cannon and Rab MacInnes, and on-site at various locations around Scotland. The aim of the programme is primarily to develop hands-on craft skills in the conservation of stained glass, but there will also be the opportunity for theory training and study. The scheme is directly aligned with Historic Scotland's stated aim to raise the standard of conservation practice among owners, trade and professional groups. The programme provides an opportunity for tradesmen and women or those from a conservation background to extend their existing craft skills to encompass the specialist skills and understanding required for conservation works to historic and traditional stained glass. Applicants do not necessarily have to have direct experience in this field, but should be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for stained glass conservation and a high level of craft potential; a further key factor in the selection process is the applicant's commitment to working in Scotland. The successful candidate will be required to work at height. It is anticipated that the Fellowship will start in November/December 2003. Apply by letter to the address below enclosing a Curriculum Vitf with the names and addresses of two referees familiar with the applicant's practical skills; applicants must also provide a separate 200-300 word statement of their interest in and commitment to the conservation of historic buildings and interiors.
