Description
This questionnaire was distributed by the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in fall of 1943 as a way to gather data about craft production centers in the region. The Guild was beginning to look for way to assist with the development of hand craft businesses as well as connect with the rehabilitation of veterans returning from World War II. Around 1944 Dorland Bell Looms, a weaving production center in Swannanoa, N.C., became part of the Warren Wilson College craft program which included weaving, woodwork, and printing.
