Item
Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).
-
In the early 1930s, the John C. Campbell Folk School taught woodcarving and also managed a carving cooperative that sold the work of local carvers, providing a needed source of income to many local families. This cooperative eventually became known as the Brasstown Carvers. This 1963 brochure focuses on the success of the Brasstown Carvers as a lucrative means of supplementing a farm income, as well as bringing joy to the carver. More than merely instruction of a craft, the meetings of the carvers would turn to discussion on community affairs and the world at large. Extending beyond Brasstown, carvers were drawn from near-by communities of Warne, Gum Log, Pine Log, and Martins Creek. Under the skillful instruction of Murrial "Murray" Martin, popular carvings such as mules, dogs, cats, sheep, geese, and creche figures were produced and sold to markets nationwide.
