Story of the Penland Weavers page 30
Item
Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).
-
This 43 page booklet tells of the founding of the Appalachian School near Penland, N.C., the organization and early years of the Penland Weavers and Potters, and the establishment of Penland School of Handicrafts, now known as Penland School of Crafts. The pamphlet provides useful information towards understanding the complicated relationships between the various institutions, as well as their impact and involvement with the local community. Also described is the curriculum in various craft media as well as the production and sale of hand woven items, pewter ware, and pottery. The booklet was written by Bonnie Willis Ford (1907-1976) a Mitchell County native and long-time employee of the craft school who played an integral role in the school's administration. This scanned copy of The Story of the Penland Weavers is the third printing, published by the school in November, 1941. The first printing occurred circa 1935 and the second in July 1936. There was also a fourth printing in April 1954 which is different in layout from the 1941 printing; but, does not contain any additional text.
