Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild

This article reports on early discussions to organize the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild as an umbrella organization for Craft Revival initiatives throughout the region. The article is the published text of Olive Dame Campbell's talk to the Conference of Southern Mountain Workers in the spring of 1929 and appears in the July1929 issue of "Mountain Life and Work." It summarizes the questions and resolutions which the group of seven craft centers, meeting in December 1928, developed with the help of Allen Eaton. A second organizational meeting was held in Asheville in December 1929 and the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild was officially formed in March 1930. In 1933 the organization changed its name to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and in the 1990s the name was changed to the Southern Highland Craft Guild.

Campbell, Olive D. (Olive Dame), 1882-1954
