What happened
Continuation. The program has run continuously and remains active in 2025-2026 (Southern Highland Craft Guild covered the 2025 and 2026 graduating classes). The archived faculty member Arch Gregory was original/early faculty who retired in 2002 (well before the directory snapshot's "to present"), succeeded by Robert Blanton, and the current jewelry instructor is Angela Bubash. No closure, merger, or rename — only leadership/faculty turnover. The "1986 to present / Arch Gregory" archived record is now stale.
