Title	Proposed Standards for a Craftsman
Creator	Douglas, Clementine
Contributor	Southern Highland Handicraft Guild
Medium of Original	unpublished materials
Date of Orginal	1943
Dimensions	11" x 8.5"
Description	In her capacity as member of the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild’s Membership-Standards Committee, Clementine Douglas, owner of the Spinning Wheel, drafted standards for Craftsman-level membership in the guild. The standards incorporated the issues of tradition and originality, attempting to include both approaches to craftwork. The standards also include a paragraph on “truth to materials,” a broader concept of the international Arts and Crafts movement. When the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild was formed in 1930, its purpose was to coordinate marketing efforts among craft producing entities in the mountain South. When it first formed, its members were not individual craft makers, but craft “centers.” Allanstand Cottage Industries, John C. Campbell Folk School, Penland Weavers and Potters, and The Spinning Wheel were among the founding members. The guild did not generally admit individuals until 1932. In the 1940s, the guild set about to define standards for various levels of individual membership, including Apprentice Craftsman, Craftsman, and Master Craftsman. The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild was founded in 1930 as the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild. The name was changed in 1933 and again in the 1990s to the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
