The annual 2009 Scholastic Art Exhibition was held throughout the month of February. On Feb. 9th, Nancy Squire and Mary Sue Foster awarded the KAWS Fiberart awards at the Opening and Awards Ceremony. A wonderful tall coiled-yarn basket with fringe titled "Indian Moon" won the first award. It was created by Savanna Davis (pictured below), a student at Salina Central High School. Her art teacher is Nancy Lysell.
The second winner was Amber Prieb from Hesston High School. Her teacher is Kathleen Schroeder. Amber wove an exquisite cardwoven sash. She said she ordered the cards and learned how to warp and weave the sash from information gathered from the internet.. The sash was done with excellent craftsmanship, especially the even edges and the repeating bird design.
