Worshipful Company of Glaziers - Arthur and Helen Davis Travelling Scholarship

This Scholarship, established by a legacy from the estate of the late Arthur Davis, is awarded every other year by the Company to a student of or an artist in Stained Glass.

 

It is aimed primarily at graduates between the ages of 22 and 30; but mature students, those who are still training and those within five years of having completed training may also apply. Its value is up to £1500.  The object of the Scholarship is to give the winner the opportunity to travel to widen their experience and to develop their study and knowledge of glass.

Recent winners have visited the USA, France, the Czech Republic, Iceland and Germany. 

 

“I have visited a staggering selection of churches, cathedrals, museums and municipal buildings where I have encountered and extensively documented hundreds of windows. I have been seeing a definite chronological pattern to the German style which itself seems to consist of a finite set of stylistic conventions and motifs.” Owen Luetchford (Arthur and Helen Davis Travelling Scholarship 2008-9)

 

The aim of all the Glaziers’ Company’s Awards is to raise standards of work within the craft, particularly in the U.K., by offering additional learning experiences to enhance the skills of a potential worker. 

 

Applications are invited from individuals within  the first five years of their training who are intending to undertake a long term career in stained glass, preferably within the U.K.
