Fiona’s scholarship program is taking on a new format for 2021. It is a mentorship based program with foundations for advancement in skills established through her online workshop offerings, plus 2 hours of one on one discussion, review and critique, plus the completion of a final project and experience review.
You can be a part of an amazing creative community.
You can achieve your creative goals and find your strongest creative voice.
You can learn new technical skills to help you make the best felt possible.
These are the foundations of Fiona’s workshops. Community building, artistic integrity and technical excellence.
It can be hard to keep everything moving forward as we would like on our chosen paths and life circumstances. I have supported myself and my family as an artist and maker since I was 19. I know it can be hard to find the extra finances for a workshop that can help you achieve your goals or further your own work. Workshops can just be slightly out of reach, but also just the thing you need to get that creative push, whether you need this artistically or to support you during a difficult time. Sometimes the barriers are not economic but based in life experiences like physical or mental health issues. I believe in supporting others through any life challenges through the exploration of craft and making.
There are 3 scholarships available for this session.
You will choose from the workshops offerings for October and November, choosing 2 or 3 workshops. Think about the time you have available, your ability to complete the coursework and final project and what workshops, in combination, will best advance your feltmaking.
The scholarships are awarded based on financial, physical or mental health need, key timing for your creative development and/or how you would use this learning opportunity and advancement of your creative practice to serve your community. Your application can be based on any one of these or any combination.
With this learning opportunity, I hope to bring more beauty and ease into the world, while creating opportunities for advancing the artistic and technical aspects of feltmaking. These scholarships opportunities are fully inclusive to all people, including people with disabilities, BIPOC, and LGBTQ2S+.
Deadline: September 15, 2021
