THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF BASKETMAKERS 2011 CHARITABLE TRUST

THE WALMSLEY BURSARY

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.
