David Canter Memorial Fund

The David Canter Memorial Fund offers awards to give financial assistance to those working in the crafts. The fund is open to those who have finished their formal training and are working full-time or part-time in the UK but need money for specific projects, e.g. setting up a workshop, buying equipment, educational work or for research and travel. Awards, which usually range between £500 and £1,000 are made every other year, each time focusing on specific craft disciplines. For 2010 these will be paper, calligraphy and lettercutting and the submission deadline is Friday 17th September 2010. To request further information and an application form, email Rachel Mackie at rachel.mackie@crafts.org.uk
