News - SPAB Fellowship

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.
