JRACraft was happy to collaborate once again with the American Craft Council (ACC) to present an Award of Excellence at the American Craft Made Baltimore show in February.  Jurors Becca Cross and Lynn Chadwick walked the show along with Award Chair Rebecca Ravenal to look for artists that show a fresh perspective in their techniques, use of material, or approach to their work.  The winner receives a $1,000 cash award from JRACraft and automatic entry into next year's show from ACC. Our 2026 winner is enamel jewelry artist Laura Fortune.

"Laura Fortune's jewelry drew us in immediately. Familiar images of everyday objects wrought in colorful cloisonné define a modern take on Americana. But, past the slightly kitschy content is a sophistication of technique and narrative.

Laura sees the world through an artist's eyes, translating scenes from diners, dives, and dollar stores into tiny wearable masterpieces. Our particular favorite was like performance art -- a miniature red weber grill, opens up to reveal a full summer barbecue, which lifts out to become a necklace on a string of cloisonné coals.  

Laura's combination of consummate creativity, striking narrative, and high technical skill merge to present a truly fresh perspective." Rebecca Ravenal, Award Chair.

JRACraft is pleased to announce the honorees for Spring Craft Weekend 2026! This year, we recognize three outstanding artists as Masters of the Medium for their exceptional skill and influence in their given mediums: fiber artist Piper Shepard, glass artist KeKe Cribbs, and ceramicist Winnie Owens-Hart.

We are also honored to present the Distinguished Educator Award to Bruce W. Pepich, Founding Director of the Racine Art Museum (RAM) in Racine, WI, and Tom Loeser, the head of the wood/furniture area at UW-Madison from 1991 until 2020. This award celebrates remarkable contributions to American craft education and a commitment to innovation and excellence in the field. 

The honorees will speak at the Spring Craft Weekend Symposium and be presented their awards at the Sunday Brunch Event.

Tom Loeser served as head of the wood/furniture area at UW-Madison from 1991 until 2020. He holds a BA from Haverford College, a BFA from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry and an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Loeser designs and builds one-of-a-kind functional and dysfunctional objects that are often carved and painted and always based on the history of design and object-making as a starting point for developing new form and meaning. He has received four Visual Artist Fellowship Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993 he spent 6 months in Japan on an NEA Creative Artist Exchange Fellowship. In 2003 he spent 6 months teaching and researching in London. Loeser has created various seating installations in public institutions such as the reception desk with his wife, Bird Ross, at the Madison Children's Museum; children's seating with furniture maker Dave Chapman at Madison, Wisconsin public library, and two seating projects, “Double-Deckerondack” and “Pair of Perches for Pinney People Pondering" for the Madison Public Library. 
​

For several decades, Piper Shepard has cut cloth into lace-like filigree patterns, sometimes regimented in structure and other times akin to freehand drawing. The central concept for her work is ‘the ethereal textile’. In both her architecturally sited projects and studio pieces, she conjures sources such as lace, open work textiles, botanical imagery, and remnants of pattern and ornament. Her method is informed equally by the qualities of cloth—among them, the physical tolerance of the material itself—and the rich domain where cloth intersects with its own place in history and memory. 
 
Shepard’s exhibitions include the Museum of Arts and Design, NYC; the Baltimore Museum of Art; the John Michael Kohler Arts Center; the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery in Birmingham, UK.  She has received four Individual Artists Awards from The Maryland State Arts Council in Crafts. In 2016 she received a Japan-US Friendship Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, Creative Arts Exchange Program Fellowship. She is a 2016 United States Artists Distinguished Fellow in Crafts, and a 2022 MacDowell Fellow. Her work is in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art and The Museum of Arts and Design, New York. Since 1994, she has taught in the Fiber Department at Maryland Institute College of Art. She lives and works in Baltimore. 
​

KeKe Cribbs was born in 1951 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the eldest daughter of five children. When KeKe was 15, her mother moved the family to Ireland to write her doctoral thesis on the poet Yeats. After three years KeKe traveled to Italy and France, eventually making a home on the island of Corsica where her daughter Alicia Lomne, also a glass artist, was born. The art work of KeKe Cribbs has been very influenced by the places she has lived. The desert lands of the Southwest, which still have deep cultural roots for her, and architecture, threaded through with the experiences of living in old European villages with winding cobble streets, heavy iron locks and hinges on old wooden doors. There is a sense of mystery and adventure sewn with magic in her work; new lands with old stories. Her love of  the highly crafted works from antiquity show in the way she handles her materials. 

​Cribbs has work in museum collections both nationally and internationally, including the L.A. County Museum, CA; Corning Glass Museum, Corning, NY; Henry Ford Art Museum, Dearborn, MI; Mobile Art  Museum, Mobile, AL; Racine Art Museum, Racine, WI; and Hokkaido Museum of  Modern Art, Sapporo, Japan.​
​

Bruce W. Pepich is the former Executive Director and Curator of Collections of the Racine Art Museum (RAM) and the Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts. During 51 years on staff, he led the museum through a series of strategic initiatives, beginning in 1981, that achieved regional and then national attention for the institution. RAM is now regarded as one of the nation’s leading centers for contemporary craft, with the permanent collection growing from 326 pieces to over 14,000 works in that time. Bruce is a published writer and has served as a juror for over 150 national and international art competitions and fellowship awards including the US Artists and Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Awards and the Cotsen Prize for Bamboo Basketry. In 2012, he was inducted as an Honorary Fellow into the American Craft Council’s (ACC) College of Fellows and upon retiring in 2025, was awarded the title Founding Director Emeritus, Racine Art Museum. He currently serves on the ACC’s Board of Trustees. ​

JRACraft is proud to announce a new partnership with the African American Craft Alliance (AACA)—a national network that grew out of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage’s African American Craft Initiative. Now newly renamed, the AACA brings together craft artisans, makers, and organizations to encourage the vitality of African American craft, support efforts to document and present African American work, strengthen networks, and expand access to opportunities and resources.

Our first collaborative event took place on January 10, 2026, with a private after-hours tour of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) led by Dr. Diana Baird N’Diaye, Creative Director of the African American Craft Alliance, and Dr. Joanne Hyppolite, Supervisory Curator at NMAAHC. It was an intimate evening of viewing special craft objects from the museum's collection up close together, and an exciting start to what’s ahead.

Together, JRACraft and the African American Craft Alliance plan to partner on at least two events each year, creating more opportunities to gather, learn, and appreciate the depth and dynamism of African American craft.

JRACraft and AACA members gathered at NMAHCC for an after- hours tour.
