Interview with John Goodwin, weaver

Item
?

Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • This is a transcript of an interview of weaver John Goodwin conducted by Edward Dupuy and Clifford Hotchkiss in 1965. Goodwin lived in Blowing Rock and sold his weavings during the Craft Revival period. He was a fourth generation weaver whose family brought weaving patterns with them from England. Goodwin talks about the history of weaving and his interest in collecting weaving drafts and keeping the craft alive. He tells a story about how the "mule spun yarn" got its name. The interview ends with talk about selling his product and continuing the family tradition. Dupuy's 1967 book "Artisans of the Appalachians" contains an essay on Goodwin that is based on this interview.
