The Worshipful Company of Basketmakers.

This annual bursary of £4000 is to provide support to someone keen to pursue a development opportunity which will benefit their basketry practice. The bursary is open to anyone who makes the major part of their living from basketry, whether by making for sale, teaching, curating, writing or other activities, or by a mix of activities that all concern basketry directly.

When assessing applications, the Charitable Trust will be looking for a clear plan which demonstrates a good understanding of the proposed development opportunity and the benefits it offers. The development opportunity itself could encompass a wide range of possibilities but must be clearly related to the applicant’s own basketry practice.

We ask for a short final report of your findings to benefit the basketmaking community. This could be a short talk, teaching or a written report for the BA Journal, the WCOB newsletter and for the use of the Trust.

For more information and to make an application please email: Anne Holden
