Handwoven Magazine Cover
For the past six years, Interweave’s Handwoven magazine has presented cash awards annually to weaving guilds who use innovative programming to reach new weavers and help sustain the craft of handweaving. Handwoven announced today that the FiberHearts 2009 Guild Outreach Awards will present two awards this year: $500 to a guild that demonstrates outstanding recruitment and retention programs for new weavers; and an additional $500 to the new FUZ-E (the FiberHearts Undeniable Zingy event) award winner, given to the guild that accomplishes or plans the most successful publicity event or stunt.
The two top winning guilds will have their programs featured in an issue of Handwoven. All applicants will receive a copy of Learning to Weave for their guild library.
