The Craftsman's fairs of the Southern Highlands presented an opportunity for the region's craftsmen to visit with each other. In this photograph Walter B. Stephen (left), owner of Pisgah Forest Pottery, takes time to talk with chair maker Shadrach "Birdie" Mace. Mace is sitting on a draw horse demonstrating the use of a draw knife to shape chairbacks. One of his finished chairs is shown at the far left. The photograph was taken by Edward L. Dupuy at the 1953 Craftsman's Fair of the Southern Highlands in Asheville, North Carolina.
