Since 1883, Student Industries at Berea College provided necessary support to the early community that grew around the college and today's crafts program at Berea College were born of the early student industry model that included a brick-making facility, bakery, candy kitchen, needlecraft and handicrafts, laundry and College farms. While many of the industries have been closed, the Berea College Crafts program is a continuing tradition.
