  • Says Fan: “I follow Katrina Rodabaugh (@katrinarodabaugh) on Instagram, and I am forever inspired by her ideas on artful mending and thoughts on sustainable fashion. Her new book was just published this week: Make, Thrift, Mend. Excited to dive in.”
  • Introducing The New Craftsmen Award at Cockpit Arts, “an award to foster creative excellence and diversity in the craft world” that includes a funded studio space in London and financial support; find more info here.
