Just saw this on the Artists Newsletter website, and thought I must share the opportunity as its so rare to something of this ilk just to support weavers. Look forward to hearing about the successful recipients of the awards in due course.

Job vacancy: 0.6 Weave lecturer / senior lecturer at Nottingham Trent University
Just thought I'd let you all know that Nottingham Trent University is currently advertising for a 0.6 Weave lecturer / senior lecturer. I've done a little teaching there - it's a great textiles department with supportive colleagues. Kinda wish I could do the job, but there isn't enough hours in the day, plus its a bit of a trek from South Wales!
