Congresses and conventions

This folder contains various documents pertaining to the sixth annual summer Weaving Institute at Penland, North Carolina conducted by Edward F. Worst under the auspices of the Penland Weavers and Potters from August 12-24, 1935. The items in this folder include: 1) promotional brochure; 2) typed draft of the "Descriptive Report of the 1935 Penland Weaving Institute"; 3) mimeographed "Descriptive Report of the 1935 Penland Weaving Institute"; 4) "Requisition for Reimbursement for the Vocational Funds for Trade and Industrial Education" listing the weaving institute instructors; 5) list of institute students giving their names, home towns, and occupations. The descriptive report and the requisition were documents Penland was required to submit in order to receive funding from the Smith-Hughes Act which was administered through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The weaving institute was held adjacent to the campus of the Appalachian School. From 1923 to 1938 the Appalachian School served as the umbrella institution under which the Penland Weavers and Potters were organized and the Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts) was established.
