Awards

Craft and Design Selected Silver Award

Awarded the craft&design Selected Silver Award 2013: Textiles & Needlecrafts presented by "Craft & Design" Magazine. The specialist judge, Kaffe Fassett, made the statement "Carol's silky texture and the abstraction of the landscapes that she depicts are what single out her work for me. There is a subtleness to the palette that I'm sure will make the work very liveable."
