Heritage Members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild

HERITAGE MEMBERSHIP

HERITAGE DESIGNATION, DEFINED:

The purpose of the Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Heritage Designation is to honor, preserve, and retain the skills of the unique crafts found within the Southern Appalachian region. We seek to emulate the tenacity, ingenuity, and fine skills needed for the creation of traditional crafts practiced contemporaneously with or before the formation of the Guild.

VISION:

The Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Heritage Designation will be given to those Guild members whose work represents the traditional crafts of Appalachia. It is envisioned that Heritage members will demonstrate their working processes in public venues and exhibit their work as individuals and collectively. The desired outcome of such involvement is to initiate and advance conversations concerning the history and the development of Appalachia Craft traditions, as well as to celebrate the formation story of the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
