Ellen Turner won the Scholarship for 2009 and has received a scholarship for a class at the MAFA 2009 workshop weekend and will take a workshop on "Advancing Twill - Sampler to Scarf" taught by Virginia West.
She will submit an article for the newsletter and set up a display at the 2010 Conference to show the skills acquired at the class. (Ellen was the initiator of our FTWG Retreat in 1998 before she moved out of state.)
Want to go to Convergence in Albuquerque? Or another class? Don't feel left out! The FTWG Board offers another $500 scholarship for the 2010 year to FTWG members in good standing for one year. Tuition must be for fiber-related study to an accredited institution, development of skills at a fiber-related school, or pre-or post-conference workshops. It can also be used for related lab/materials fees, room, board and travel related expenses to the study. If awarded, it must be used within 18 months.
In return, you are required to perform two activities: You must display the skills you acquired at the FTWG Conference after your award. You may teach a mini session, set up an informative table, or pass on your knowledge in another way at Conference and submit an informative article about the class for the newsletter.
The Deadline For Applications To Be Received Is: February 25, 2010. Applications and further information may be obtained by contacting Mimi Smith, Scholarship Chair, 9787 Knightsbridge Circle, Sarasota, FL 34238, or call 941-966-9131, or e-mail: kar20c@comcast.net.
