News - SPAB Fellowship

2022 Fellow Daahir Mohamed is a lime plasterer. From the road he shares some highlights and reflections on heritage. 

We’re delighted that plasterer and 2022 Fellow Daahir Mohamed has been awarded a generous grant from Heritage Crafts. The grant will help to support him during the Fellowship, our six-month training scheme for craftspeople.

Every year a group of craftspeople, architects, surveyors and engineers are selected for our prestigious training schemes. 

Almost every year the Art School generously accommodate SPAB Fellows in their workshops. 2021 Fellow Toby Slater, a carpenter, enjoyed a two-week placement in the Historic Carving Department.

The Fellowship fosters outstanding craftspeople with the skills for working with historic buildings. After a year's delay due to the pandemic, Fellows Toby, Thom, Tom and Oliver have now completed their conservation tour of the UK. 

New awards will join our exisiting ones in a celebration of old buildings and the people who champion them.

SPAB Fellow Toby Slater explores the craft of Herefordshire carpenter and stonemason John Abel.

2019 Fellow Matthew Wilson looks back on six months of travel, craft and thought-provoking conversations.

Every year a select group of architects, surveyors, engineers, and craftspeople are picked for our prestigious training schemes in building conservation.
