Penland Weavers Will Exhibit Monday at Woman's Club Meeting

On display at the Woman's Club Monday for the occasion of that organization's regular meeting, will be an exhibit of the work of the Penland Weavers and Potters, world-famous for their artistry. The work is of particular interest to Miamians, as so many of them spend their summers in the mountains of North Carolina, the home of these craftsmen. Penland Weavers and Potters is a cooperative craft center on a remote mountain top 63 miles from Asheville. Begun in 1914, largely through the efforts of the Rev. A. Rufus Morgan, it has evolved into a nationally recognized school of crafts with students from every state. A successful exhibit was held in Washington last November with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as honor patron. This showing will mark the first exhibit of the school in the Miami area. Shown among the items will be magnificent examples of hand-wrought pewter, some pierced and some etched, illustrative of the consummate artistry of these mountain workers. A wealth of useful as well as ornamental articles are to be seen—plates, bowls, candlesticks, cookie jars, and so on, as well as beautifully moulded pottery and handwrought jewelry of stearling silver. The meeting has been called for two o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual, inorder that members and their guests may have time to enjoy the display.
