Warren Wilson Crafts was part of the Warren H. Wilson Vocational Junior College. In 1944 they were still a small school with strong involvement in the local community. Questionnaires like this one were the raw data for the exploratory study of the Craft Education Project, a joint undertaking by the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and the Southern Highlanders. Marian Heard was hired to oversee the planning phase that involved visiting artists and determining the needs of the craftworkers. Her results, referred to as "The Heard Report," were published as the "Report of an Exploratory Study Looking Towards a Craft Education Project ...." The preliminary project led to an educational program funded by the General Education Board.
