Margerette C. Buchanan went to school to learn her art. She was able to do teaching at Penland, as well as being part of the family business. Questionnaires like this one were the raw data for the exploratory study of the Craft Education Project, a joint undertaking by the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and the Southern Highlanders. Marian Heard was hired to oversee the planning phase that involved visiting artists and determining the needs of the craftworkers.

The preliminary project led to an educational program funded by the General Education Board
