Abstract:

Over 4,000 full-or-part-time craftspersons live in economically depressed Western North Carolina. HandMade in America is a project that seeks to promote and preserve the crafts of this area and to transform the area into the nation's craft center. To assist in this project, promoters have produced a guidebook that directs people through the twenty-one county region, locating and describing points of interest, such as basket weaving or quilt making.
