Southern Highland Handicraft Guild

The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild met for its fall membership meeting in Crossnore, North Carolina on October 10-11, 1933. Meeting minutes generally contain committee reports, financial statement, new members list, announcements of regional events, and discussion about special issues facing the organization. In this particular meeting shop manager, Agnes Loeffler, gave the financial report for the Allanstand Cottage Industries. Lucy Morgan reported about the success of the trip to the Chicago World's Fair. Allen Eaton talked about the American Federation of Arts exhibition, "Exhibit of Mountain Handicrafts," which featured the works of Guild members. The exhibition opened in Blacksburg, Virginia and was headed to the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. Suggestions were made for exploring what crafts could be sold through the National Parks. The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild was founded in 1930 as the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild. The name was changed to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in 1933 and again in the 1990s to the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
