Craft Co-op
Items Noted
You often hear about farm
co-ops across the state, but
most people are unaware
that we have located in
Elizabeth City’s old train
depot one of the few craft co
ops which exists in North
Carolina. Watermark, with
280 members, is an
energetic organization with
craftsmen who produce a
variety of items.
For the tradition minded,
some of Watermark’s
craftsmen specialize in the
Heritage Crafts: lye soap
making, cornshuck flowers,
grapevine wreaths, wooden
dough bowls, and handmade
candles. Others choose to do
the Standard Crafts such as
decoys, pottery, dolls,
pillows, stuffed toys, and
wooden toys. And other
craftsmen are specialist at
the New Crafts such as soft
sculptures, tole painted
birds, macrame, and ultra
suede creations.
Quality control for the
craft items is assured
through a Screening
Committee which juries
every craftman’s products
before he is accepted into
the co-op. After acceptance,
a Standards Committee and
the Shop Manager
periodically inspect the
many items brought into the
retail shop; only crafts
which meet the prescribed
high quality levels are
allowed to be sold.
Leading the thrust for
expanding the co-op’s
membership and retail sales
is the new manager Carolyn
McKecuen. She has set as
one of her goals to greatly
increase sales through
opening wholesaling outlets
throughout the east coast.
She has already personally
visited and shown local
crafts to outlets in New
York, Philadelphia, Boone,
Virginia, and Washington,
D. C., and will be seeking
other outlets for the large
number of working crafts
men.
With so many craftsmen,
the co-op can add another
area of service to customers
which most businesses can’t
speciality orders.
Whatever the person’s
needs are, there’s a crafts
man who can fill them.
Special orders over the past
two months have ranged
from dolls whose names,
characteristics, and clothes
match the child they’re
ordered for, the decorator
rag rugs which have been
desiped to match the color
and style of the room they
will be used in.
Go to the old train depot
on Hughes Boulevard any
Monday through Saturday
from 10 A. M. until 5 P. M.
and have your senses
delighted with crafts, both
old and new, which will
f»uw you with their scope
and variety.
