An Old Art Modernized
An Old Art Modernized
Winogene Redding · Handicrafter, August-September 1929
Article · 3 pages
A 1929 magazine article on the revival of hand weaving around Gatlinburg, East Tennessee, where the Pi Beta Phi Settlement School taught weaving in mountain homes. It contrasts the old heavy beamed sled looms and homespun coverlets of the grandmothers with the small modern home-made looms now used for scarfs, towels, runners and linens. It also covers changes in weaving terminology, the economic benefits to about seventy-five weavers, and gift shops selling to tourists. The scan also includes the start of an unrelated note on Greek and Roman furniture.
