Collection Overview

This collection consists of articles, notes, photocopies, booklets, flyers, and ephemera relating to craft and craft revival in Western North Carolina. The bulk of the materials were assembled as part of the research for the Western Carolina University online, grant-funded project entitled Craft Revival Shaping Western North Carolina Past and Present. The bulk of the project ran from 2005 to 2009 and the purpose was to create a research-based website to document the historic effort to revive handcraft in the western part of the state. While these files were used for that project, they also include materials in addition to that effort relating to craft in the region.

Biographical/Historical

Curator and scholar, Mary Anna Fariello is a former Smithsonian Renwick Fellow in American Craft. Her research at the Smithsonian focused on the southern craft revival and led to her work at Western Carolina University, where she documented the region's material culture. Author of 8 books, numerous book chapters and articles, she presented over 150 conference papers and invited lectures, and directed over 30 federal, state, and private grants. Since 1990, she curated over 30 exhibitions for regional and national museums, almost all focusing on American craft.

Among her digital projects, while an Associate Professor at Western Carolina University, she curated the online digital archival collections--

Cherokee Traditions: From the Hands of our Elders https://www.wcu.edu/library/digitalcollections/cherokeetraditions/
Great Smoky Mountains: A Park for America https://www.wcu.edu/library/DigitalCollections/GSMPark/
and Picturing Appalachia. The Library of Congress profiled her work in Digital Preservation, its online blog.

Anna Fariello holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics and Mixed Media from James Madison University, a Master of Arts in Museum Studies/Art History from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Douglas College at Rutgers University. An Associate Professor at three state universities, she taught courses in Museum Studies at Radford University and Virginia Tech, Virginia state universities.
