Scholarship Program

Congratulations to the following members who received HWSDA Scholarships at Conference 2010:

• Karen Hurl for Navajo Weaving at the 2010 HWSDA Pre-conference Workshop
• Barbara Mercer for Bobbin Lace at the 2010 HWSDA Pre-conference Workshop
• Gale Anderson-Palm for a Itajime workshop in Maiwa

You, too, can qualify for a scholarship if you have been a member in good standing for at least two years and have not received a scholarship within the last five years.

You may use the scholarship to help you further your education in any field of the fibre arts. Scholarships will be awarded at the 2011 Conference. Recipients are asked to submit a brief article and, if possible, any samples they may produce to Running Threads so they can share their new knowledge with the rest of the Guild.

To apply for a scholarship, send a letter outlining the workshop or class that you wish to use the money for, including the costs. Let us know a little about your background and what you hope to achieve by taking the workshop.

Applications should be submitted by email to
