Brasstown Carver Hope Brown shapes a goose woodcarving with a mallet, 1961. Hope Caler Brown (1915-2005) began carving with her husband Glenn around 1940. She carved the first cat as well as the first infant Jesus creche figure for the Brasstown Carvers. She modeled her figurines of children on the couple's own eight offspring. Hope also made and updated many patterns for the Brasstown Carvers.
