Wood-carving -- Appalachian Region, Southern

Murrial Martin wrote this page in remembrance of Ben Hall, one of the original Brasstown Carvers. Martin taught woodcarving at the John C. Campbell Folk School from 1935 to 1973 and oversaw the woodcarving cooperative which became known as the Brasstown Carvers. Martin wrote this in 1965, two years after Hall's death. Martin describes Hall's as one of the more skilled carvers who set high standards for the others. He was the first Brasstown Carver to carve a human figure, St. Francis.

Martin, Murrial Galt, 1902-2005
