LICENTIATESHIP
Designer Bookbinders is constantly seeking new talent and promising UK-based bookbinders are encouraged to apply for Licentiateship each February. Licentiates are assigned two Fellows of the Society to mentor them in developing their design skills and technique, take part in running the Society, and exhibit in the Society’s exhibitions. Applicants to Licentiateship are elected on submission of work which is deemed to display a potential in design and technique.

The three new Licentiates are Ali Halley, Maria Ruzaikina and Matt Stokl

Designer Bookbinders Fellows are the exhibiting members of the Society and are considered to have achieved the highest standards in both design and technique. Fellows are elected on submission of work from those who have previously achieved Licentiate status. This membership type is achieved only by election.

The newly elected Fellow is Ted Bennett
