SPAB William Morris Craft Fellowship

The SPAB William Morris Craft Fellowship is a prestigious annual training programme designed for skilled craftspeople who want to broaden their experience in working with historic buildings. Over the course of several intensive training blocks, Fellows gain hands-on experience with traditional building skills, repair techniques, and specialist conservation approaches, guided by leading experts across the UK. The programme also offers a unique Millwright Fellowship, supporting the repair and maintenance of historic wind and watermills – a critically endangered craft. Successful applicants receive a bursary (£8,400 for the standard Fellowship, £12,600 for the Millwright Fellowship) to support them during training. This is a demanding but rewarding opportunity to develop new skills, connect with other craftspeople, and help safeguard heritage for the future.
