Southern Highland Handicraft Guild

The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild met for its fall membership meeting in Penland, N.C. on September 11 to 13, 1945. Meeting minutes generally contain committee reports, financial statements, new members, announcements of regional events, and discussion about special issues facing the organization. At this particular meeting there was a panel presentation on the "Craft Background of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild" and a similar presentation on the "Craft Education Program of the Southern Highlands." A talk was given by Edward T. Hall, the director of the Universal School of Handicrafts in New York City, who spoke about the importance of arts and crafts to the military personnel. There was also a report from Isabel Ferguson of the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. Several amendments were made to Guild by-laws. 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.
