The Interweave Knitting Lab Scholarship is designed to bring knitters to the Knitting Lab in Manchester, NH and San Mateo, CA who have much to offer the community both at the event and beyond, and who would otherwise not be able to attend. "Our hope is that the knitting community will benefit by the infusion of in-depth education and the acknowledgement of the importance of recognizing and compelling the exchange of ideas, skills and stories," explains Karin Strom, Editorial Director of Interweave Knits.
To be eligible for a Interweave Knitting Lab Scholarship,
one must demonstrate that he/she is actively involved in developing their knitting skills and sharing their knowledge with the larger community. The applicant's involvement may be related to any kind of knitting practice; enrollment in any sort of formal training course is not required.
Applicants must be 18 years or older to apply.
A distinguished committee of Editors, Publishers and Knitters will review the applications and determine the scholarship recipients.
The Interweave Knitting Lab Scholarship covers the full fee for the Knitter's Weekend Package.
This allows the recipient to sign up for as many workshops, lectures, demonstrations and evening events as the schedule allows throughout the four-day event. All other fees and expenses related to attendance at the event (hotel, transportation, meals, etc) must be paid by the recipient.
Once awarded an Interweave Knitting Lab Scholarship,
Scholars are expected to participate fully
in Interweave Knitting Lab, attending the sessions, connecting with the community and immersing themselves in the educational experience. Scholars may be asked to be introduced to the other participants during an evening program at Interweave Knitting Lab.
After Interweave Knitting Lab, Scholars are to submit a report related to their experience at Interweave Knitting Lab to the Interweave team.
The report should outline how the scholarship helped to allow the recipient to proceed toward their goals.
Interweave Knitting Lab was developed by Interweave in 2011 and will be held twice a year in the United States. The 2012 events will take place at the Radisson Hotel Manchester in Manchester, NH on October 4-7, and the Marriott San Mateo in San Mateo, CA on November 1-4. Interweave has earned a solid reputation over many years as a leader in knitting instruction and, through the Interweave Knitting Lab, is dedicated to bringing the top instructors together with passionate knitters and community organizations, and providing hands-on workshops, demonstrations, lectures and discussion to knit a new history together.
