The Marshfield School of Weaving, Inc. is pleased to announce the formation of a scholarship fund that offers educational and research assistance to students interested in textile history and production. Scholarships will cover part of class tuition and/or time spent on research projects at the Marshfield School of Weaving or the Marshfield Center for Textile Research. The Scholarship recipients will be expected to share their experience in a format that might include a presentation at a MSW Seminar or Workshop, an article in the MSW Newsletter, or a textile sample with description for the MSW library.
