Journal of Black Mountain College Studies, Volume 12 (Spring 2021) Gathered Momentum: Black Mountain College and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in the 1950s M. Rachael Arauz, Ph.D. The founding years of Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, an acclaimed alternative institution for craft education still thriving on the coast of Maine, were the subject of a 2019 museum exhibition and scholarly catalogue organized by the Portland Museum of Art, Maine. Diana Greenwold and I served as co-curators for the project, and our research revealed Haystack’s connections to several mid-century experimental and craft-based educational programs such as Black Mountain College and Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, Cranbrook Academy in Michigan, and Pond Farm Workshops in Guerneville, California. Drawn from that research, this article offers a brief summary of events and specific artists who forged early points of contact between Haystack and Black Mountain College, and suggests the ways in which Black Mountain College’s demise provided a touchstone for Haystack’s innovative beginnings.
