Christina Kim of Dosa was one of the winners that rocked the ATA Awards
I headed over to the ATA Awards the other day hosted at ABC Carpet and Home with the League of Artisan ladies (Benita et. al) and Michela from Interrupcion to celebrate a little fair trade for the “noveau riche,” as Benita would like to say. ATA “celebrates the achievements of individuals and groups who have changed the handmade world through their talents and determination.” This year’s honorees include:
ed Muehling
Extraordinary jewelry and product designer
ATA Lifetime Visionary Award
Christina Kim
Founder of inventive artisan-based fashion house, Dosa
Innovation in Craft Award
Barbara Tober

…but this African blackwood necklace and a spiral bracelet (not shown here) by Federico de Vera’s was one of my favorites
Here at ATA we want to thank everyone for attending the event, as well as invite you to our website and newly updated webstore!
