The Incorporation of Weavers of Glasgow Material Innovation Award

The Weavers Industry & Education Awards were introduced in 2015 on the 500th Anniversary of the founding of the Incorporation, by the then Deacon, Ken McDonald. Since that time the Awards have grown in stature and purpose. From 2021 we have offered the following awards - (i) Best new Woven Fabric; (ii) Material Innovation Award; (iii) Ian Dunsmore Award for Colour. The Material Innovation Award is open to anyone working in material innovation including, but not limited to, makers and designers working in new processes, fibre development, UX design, digital fabrication and media. The award includes a Prize of £500, Certificate of Merit, and Weavers Medal.
