Weaving -- Appalachian Region, Southern

This letter was written by Doris Coulter, tapestry weaver and life-member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild. The 1965 letter provides details about a cooperative effort by Department of the Interior’s Indian Arts and Crafts Board, the Jackson County Industrial Education Center, and Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual to sponsor a 16-week daily course in weaving to be held on the Qualla Boundary. Coulter states that the goals of the project are to “to encourage new ideas and new articles.” Coulter notes that the Cherokee Agency is furnishing a space for the classes to be held and the Cherokee Historical Association has loaned the project the needed looms. The letter may have been written to Robert W. Gray, Director of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild with the hope of borrowing additional looms for the project.
