Rachel Sawicki awarded CXD Nicholas Hadgraft Scholarship

Rachel Sawicki, a book conservation intern at The Chester Beatty
Library in Dublin, has been chosen as the lucky recipient of this
year's Nicholas Hadgraft Memorial Scholarship.

Now in its sixth year, the coveted scholarship awarded by
Conservation By Design (CXD) offers 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

Rachel intends to use her scholarship to attend two
courses--Recreating the Medieval Palette and Introduction to Islamic
Book Structure.

This year CXD received entries from all over the world, including
the USA, Greece, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Kenya.  The
quality and number of entries grows each year and is testament to
the high regard in which the Scholarship is held within the
conservation sector.

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), the most effective way to date of drying
valuable rare books.
