Interwoven Histories: Weaving Students at Black Mountain College

Trude Weaving by Newhall Beaumont. Black Mountain College Collection, Box 89. Courtesy of Western Regional Archives.

This collection highlights students that participated in weaving and textile design at the college, and shares a few faculty and apprentice teachers. We hope that this resource compliments the new exhibitions and books being released in 2023, and shares more information about lesser-known individuals at BMC.
