Congrats to Judith Schaechter, who has won a 2008 United States Artist (USA) fellowship. As far as I can tell from a cursory look at the USA website, this is their first award to a stained glass artist - though I dare say it's a little ironic to categorize Judith's work under "crafts and traditional arts". More power to you, Judith. You deserve it, no matter what the category.
[update - Nov. 17, 2009 - Late Breaking Noose. no, not a typo, though it is late breaking news - actually, it's a new blog by Judith Schaechter. It's for "for updates on exhibitions, new work, teaching activities etc. I suppose I might also post the occasional rant and rave about whatever as well..." Good Luck and welcome to the blogosphere, Judith!]
