NK835.W6.W57Description
This delightful book, amply illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, captures the significant role such traditional arts as basketmaking, needlework, and decoy carving continue to play in the daily life of many Wisconsinites. Several chapters by folklorists provide a context for understanding the ways folk artists use their work to connect the past and present, express ethnic identity, celebrate community, and live creatively off the land. Published in conjunction with the Wisconsin Folklife Festival and a traveling exhibition organized by the Cedarburg Cultural Center, Cedarburg, Wisconsin.Collection
