Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • This four-page brochure was created by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, a division of the United States Department of Interior, to accompany a 1972 exhibition of "Basketry by Agnes L. Welch." The exhibitions were held at Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, an artisan cooperative in Cherokee, North Carolina. Agnes Lossie Welch (1925-1997) was known for making white oak baskets. Unlike most Cherokee basket weavers, she did not learn this craft through her family. Instead, Welch learned to make baskets in school, from Lottie Queen Stamper (1907-1987). Welch's exhibition also received support from the North Carolina Arts Council. The brochures for these exhibits were reformatted and republished as "Contemporary Artists and Craftsmen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians" in 1987.
