Hope Brown carving by a water wheel with a child on her lap. Brasstown Carver 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 crèche 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.
