Diedrick Brackens becomes the 2018 B/EA recipient!

 

Note: the Brandford/Elliott Award website was created in the fall of 2011, at which time work for each awardee was presented from the time she/he received the award, as well as current work dating 2010 or so.

Since then, new work is added to each awardee's page every other year (when available), around the time of the next award.

In 2016 B/EA was formally turned over to the Textile Society of America and became a TSA award.
