Berea College Crafts Norwegian Weave Placemat, Natural/Brown, Natural Cotton

Berea College Crafts Norwegian Weave Placemat is woven by the students of Berea College in the traditional techniques of the Appalachian Mountains using natural undyed cotton accented with two lovely tones of brown.

"Berea College isn’t like most other colleges. It was founded in 1855 by a Presbyterian minister who was an abolitionist. It was the first integrated, co-educational college in the South. And it has not charged students tuition since 1892. Every student on campus works, and its labor program is like work-study on steroids." —Adam Harris, The Atlantic

Each student, in exchange for tuition, learns the traditional crafts of the Appalachian Mountains so these skills are not lost.
