Years ago I was in Charleston, SC and had the opportunity to purchase a sweet grass basket from one of the ladies who had them for sale. I will always treasure the basket because it was handmade. Anything handmade is a treasure.
It's a beautiful privilege to see all these amazing artisans create. Thank you so much for documenting these artists, their stories and sharing it for the world!
I love the story of of the women. How they passed down then knowledge generation to generation. With the making of beautiful baskets. Remembering their people.
I’m enjoying this series so much. I love how the child knows the importance of keeping the tradition with her own children one day. Those baskets are lovely. I love the Native American baskets too, how they tell a story.
At 51:46 the little girl very thoughtful, tradition is so important for our children it's always a reminder for where they came from and where they belong
I was once in a thrift store and noticed a basket that was beautiful to me and I could see it was not made at a factory. I grabbed it and the cashier said it was fifty cents. When I got home I noticed it had on the back a cloth label said that that it was handmade by Annabelle Ellis and members of her family in Charleston S.C. Years later I was told it was a sweet grass basket and probably worth over a hundred dollars. I wouldn't take a million for it.
OHNYGAWWD!!! This episode hit me right in my soul!! i started crying at the end. These wonderful artists touched me so deep! i am going to grab my sketchpad and start drawing out my design i want to create for my next canvas tote bag project. the possibilites are endless! you just got to let your mind be touched by the gift of God in the realm of creativity!! i want to continue this journey of self discovery! i love it! and, it's my saving grace!
Watching these wonderful artists and crafters takes me away to another place in my mind and reminds me of what could have been if I worked a little harder and persued my own dream of making stained glass and crafting native art. Too many broken dreams, but it's great to see those who were able to become great crafters.
Hello from Cambridge UK. Love this series, some amazing work and how wonderful to see people with a passion which makes them so contented. (Tom Joyce, I could listen to your calming voice all day :0) ).

Not taking away from William Morris, but, I know that the American craftsman had and always will be prevalent a strong mark of Americanism
