Title	[Craft Education Project questionnaire: Penland School of Handicrafts]
Creator	Heard, Marian Gladys Southern Highland Handicraft Guild Southern Highlanders, Inc.
Medium of Original	unpublished materials
Date of Orginal	1944
Dimensions	11" x 8.5"
Description	When the questionnaire was done in 1944, the Penland School of Handicrafts had a well-developed curriculum and reputation. It attracted well-trained teachers and students from around the country and Europe. Weaving was still the focus, but pottery and metalwork were gaining in reputation. The school was also beginning the work of training vocational therapists for the war veterans. Questionnaires like this one were the raw data for the exploratory study of the Craft Education Project, a joint undertaking by the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and the Southern Highlanders. Marian Heard was hired to oversee the planning phase that involved visiting artists and determining the needs of the craftworkers. Her results, referred to as "The Heard Report" were published as the "Report of an Exploratory Study Looking Toward a Craft Education Program...." The preliminary project led to an educational program funded by the General Education Board. Page 4 is missing from this document.
