Larson-Juhl Scholarship
23 July 2020
Ever since the idea of a framing scholarship was discussed by the Fine Art Trade Guild Framer’s Committee in 2015, Larson-Juhl have been closely involved and fully supportive. Because Larson-Juhl continue to believe that raising the standard of framing services provided to customers is good for the industry, they are committed to supporting the scholarship for the foreseeable future.
The Scholarship offers two places, twice a year, to help framers achieve the Guild Certified Framer GCF(APF) accreditation, which offers Guild member framers a recognised certification for framing professionals. A rigorous examination with an approved examiner, backed up by an accessible Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme, provides framers with the confidence and knowledge to offer the best advice to their customers.
The scholarship is designed to help framers who are either at the start of their careers, or who have no formal training. Having at least 12 months' framing experience to build up essential knowledge and skills is highly recommended.
Applicants for the scholarship can either be running their own business or be in employment as a framer. It is widely recognised that the scholarship initiative, which went live in 2016, helps framers to develop both their technical and business skills.
To date, 20 applicants have been successful gaining a scholarship place, including the two most recent from the Spring 2020 round, Barbara Watt and Toby Bradley. Many congratulations to them!
19 out of 20 of the successful applicants for the scholarship remain a member of the Guild family today, and are continuing to benefit from their membership. Barbara and Toby, and the two winners from the Autumn 2019 round are not yet ready to take the examination. Of the winners prior to that, 13 are now proud to call themselves certified framers, and continue to take an active part in the CPD programme. Most customers know the principle of CPD, and it is a reassurance to some that their framer is keeping up to date with industry changes.
