fellows

CLAS Fellowship is the highest level within the CLAS Ladder of Progress.

Successfully achieving the Fellowship level within the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society (CLAS) grants individuals the privilege of using the letters “FCLAS” after their name. While typically requiring a high pass (70% or above) at the Advanced Level of the CLAS National Diploma of Calligraphy, holding the National Diploma at this level is not obligatory for application.

Fellowship status signifies exceptional skill, dedication, and contribution to calligraphy, inspiring others in the community to strive for excellence while reinforcing CLAS’s mission to advance the art of calligraphy and lettering.
