	[Weaving Cabin, log-raising] Title [Weaving Cabin, log-raising] Identifier PSC_RG3_CR038 Format postcard Date Created 1926 Dimensions 3.25" x 5.25" Description This photographic postcard depicts the construction of the Weaving Cabin adjacent to the Appalachian School campus near Penland, North Carolina in 1926. Logs and labor were contributed by local residents. 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 photograph for this postcard was taken by Bayard Wootten, although it is unknown who produced this postcard. From 1923 to 1938 the Appalachian School served as the umbrella institution under which the Penland Weavers and Potters were organized and the Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts) was established.
