Spruce beer (Tierra Connor, illus.) |
Nice to see Canada's History pick up a couple of National Magazine Awards (Honourable Mention) yesterday.
Both awards, one for Illustration, one for "One-of-a-kind storytelling," were for "Old-School DIY," by Brooke Campbell, Kaitlin Vitt, and Mark Collin Read, illustrated by Tierra Connor, from the February-March 2019 issue
It's a cleverly tongue-in-cheek guide to getting by as Canadians used to: how to make spruce beer, how to cure a codfish, how to make pemmican, how to make a feed-sack dress, and so on.
The usual lavish bash didn't happen; the ceremony was online.
