Announcing the 2012 Artisans!

14 Oct 2011

artisan search

Entries arrived from all over the globe, as far away as Australia, and as close as Massachusetts. One of the side benefits of holding the Artisan Search is that while choosing the top 5 Artisans, we also discover great new talent! We will be bringing you projects through out the year from some of the finalists and general participants. But, let’s get back to the task at hand…

(Insert drum roll sound here.)

Announcing the winners of Cloth Paper Scissors Artisan Search 2012:

  • Art Journaling and Bookmaking: Roann Mathais
  • Collage and Assemblage: Valerie Pillow
  • Mixed-media Stitch: Cynthia Frenette
  • Mixed-media Jewelry: Laura McHugh
  • Printmaking and Surface Design: Kristy Quinn

 

Congratulations to our 5 new Artisans, our 20 finalists, and to all who entered. You will be formally introduced to all 20 finalists in our January/February 2012 issue, and an On Our Radar feature of each of the Artisans throughout 2012.

Cheers,

Signature
