Created from handmade, hand-dyed wool felt, these awards will be given to four top filmmakers from all over the world. See page 21 in the festival guide for more details.
Among the previous local artists chosen for this honor is Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson, whose textile pieces Shannon loves.

Following up on last month’s sewing patterns as knitting templates class, we’re working on new sewing-related classes for you, both online and off. The marketing class has just started: if you’re a crafter or designer who needs help marketing your work, send an email to us (info [at] knitgrrlstudio [dot] com) and we’ll get you set up.
In addition, Knitgrrl Studio continues to offer team-building exercises for companies and corporations — one of our upcoming events was customized by the client (a certain large Cleveland-based insurance company) to make a certain kind of fabric blanket. You can customize yours, too! Just drop us a line and let us know what sounds like fun, and we’ll bring the class to you!
