MEMBERSHIP

Any artist or craftsperson whose work includes a substantial body of heraldry is eligible to apply for Craft Membership.

Prospective Craft Members are invited to submit a selection of their work for consideration by the Society’s Appointments Board. This may be in photographic form. An applicant whose work is deemed to be of a sufficiently high standard is then invited to become a Craft Member of the Society of Heraldic Arts and may describe himself or herself as such and use the postnominals SHA.

Prospective applicants should contact the Chairman of the Appointments Board:

Kevin Arkinstall, FSHA
8 Abbot Close

APPLICATION FOR CRAFT MEMBERSHIP FORM

In a small number of cases, applicants may be awarded Associate Craft Membership (ASHA) in recognition of their potential. This may later be translated into full Craft Membership upon application.

A Faculty of Fellows was created in 2013. Fellowship (FSHA) is granted by the Society’s Appointments Board to Craft Members whose work is considered to be pre-eminent by their peers.

The cost of maintaining the Society’s website is met purely by donations (see Payment Details).
