About the fund

The Wednesday Morning Class are an inspirational group of individuals whose philosophy values the interest in the humanities, arts, and continued learning. Their compassion has led to the creation of the Lichfeldian Award – supporting the expansion of creative knowledge and encouraging the dedication to the arts by reducing the financial barrier.
The Lichfeldian Award is a £1,000 award to a final year student within Fashion or Surface Pattern and Textile Design who has demonstrated true passion and skill in their area whilst faced with financial barriers.
Designed to encourage artistic experimentation, creation, and promotion of their work, the Lichfeldian Award will support the chosen artist by empowering them to pursue their passions without worrying about financial constraints.
