Training Bursary 2024

Ziyaad Lorgat, from Leicester, has begun to specialise in the repair and restoration of Islamic holy texts after being encouraged by members of his faith community. He will train in bookbinding with 2023 Heritage Crafts Trainer of the Year Tom McEwan and others. Ziyaad aims to become a skilled master bookbinder and eventually host bookbinding classes for others.
Ziyaad’s bursary is funded by the City & Guilds Foundation.
