Yes...we had a pair of appraisers come to our guild meeting a couple of years ago. They gave a great presentation and then did appraisals for anyone who wanted. i was fortunate to be one of the "helpers" for the appraisals and learned so much. I am in awe of what certified appraisers need to know before becoming certified. If I were 15 years younger I would enjoy becoming one and encourage anyone who enjoys history and fabric to pursue this.
