Basketry by Helen Smith
Item
Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).
-
This four-page brochure was made to accompany a 1973 exhibition of basketry by Helen Smith. In an unbroken chain of tradition, Smith’s baskets are positioned between those of her mother, Eva Calhoun Bradley, and those made by her daughter, Carol Smith Welch. All three weavers were known for their baskets. She grew up in Big Cove community on the Qualla Boundary, lands owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and began making baskets when she was 15 or 16 years old. While some Cherokee basket weavers specialized in one type of basket, Helen Bradley Smith (1922-2007) was proficient in white oak, honeysuckle, and rivercane, including the double weave technique. She could also do pottery, beadwork, and finger weaving.
