Embroiderers Guild annual scholarships 2009

Two Embroiderers' Guild Scholarships of £1000 each are awarded annually to embroiderers to develop the practice of embroidery. One Scholarship is for embroiderers in the age category of 18 to 30 years inclusive, and one Scholarship is for embroiderers over 30 years of age.

The Guild defines embroidery as being all work stitched or derived from stitch. All applicants should have studied the practice of embroidery or stitched textiles through formal or informal learning.

The Scholarships are to support embroiderers to undertake projects which further their own embroidery practice.

Working with the Embroiderers' Guild during the Scholarship year provides each Scholar with opportunities to be introduced to the Guild's network of Members, Branches and practising professionals. The Guild holds additional funding to enable them to participate in Guild activities.

The entry deadline for next year is 9 February 2009. Please promote the scholarship to your students, friends and colleagues.
