CXD Nicholas Hadgraft Scholarship

Nicholas Hadgraft Memorial Scholarship 2011
Book Conservation Summer School Scholarship

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,
Reconstructing an Early Medieval Islamic Book Structure,
Conservation Techniques for Islamic Binding and Exploring the Unique
Features of Spanish Early Modern Account Book 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 29 April
2011.

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
