CLAS fellowship
The highest tier on the CLAS Ladder of Progress acknowledges exceptional craftsmanship with the award of CLAS Fellowship.
The pinnacle of the CLAS Ladder of Progress acknowledges a superior level of craftsmanship by awarding CLAS Fellowship.
If you believe your skills meet this high standard, such as if you have completed the CLAS National Diploma in Calligraphy at the Intermediate or Advanced level, or an equivalent course, please reach out to the CLAS Fellowship Assessment Administrator at fellows@clas.co.uk. They will guide you on which Fellows to consult and arrange for the presentation of your pieces for assessment. These consultations serve to determine if your work meets the required standard or if you need to fulfill additional assessment requirements. It is advisable to initiate this process at least six months prior to any potential assessment date.
While the assessment process is formal, we strive to ensure a positive and constructive experience. There is no requirement for nomination or seconding to apply.
