Description	This photographic postcard depicts the community Weaving Cabin adjacent to the Appalachian School campus near Penland, North Carolina, ca. 1927-1935. The Weaving Cabin became the gathering place for the community weavers organized by Lucy Morgan in 1923 as the Fireside Industries Department of the school; their name was changed to the Penland Weavers and Potters in 1928. The cabin was erected in May 1926; logs and labor were contributed by local residents. The photograph for this postcard was taken by Bayard Wootten c. 1927-33. Wootten's automobile can be seen to the left of the cabin behind the arbor. From 1923 to 1938 the Appalachian School served as the umbrella institution under which the Penland Weavers and Potters were organized and Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts) was established.
