The Phil Barnes Enamelling Bursary

This bursary provides an excellent incentive for all aspiring enamellers to participate in the competition.  Everyone who enters work into either of the enamelling sections will be able to apply for the bursary, which offers a marvellous opportunity to learn alongside a master enameller. 

This annual bursary has been established in memory of master enameller Phil Barnes by his wife Linda. Phil was a lifetime entrant to the competition during his long and illustrious career, promoting and encouraging the highest standards of traditional enamelling skills and techniques. This bursary and legacy will positively support the next generation of enamellers by offering some workshop experience with an established master enameller. 

Who can apply?

Entries for this bursary will be considered from both the enamelling sections using the following rationale/criteria: 

  • It is specifically for the development and advancement of enamelling technical skills through workshop experience with an established/experienced enameller
  • The bursary will be open to any entrant showing promise in their competition submission/s, and this doesn’t have to be a Gold, Silver or Bronze winner 
  • There is no age restriction

How to apply

Entrants will need to provide a brief statement, maximum 50 words, about how the bursary will enhance their enamelling practice and state their preferred technique (placeholder provided on the entry form).
