Description
Ruth Fleming Hawkins (1917-unknown) began carving at age 20, at a time when there were few women among the Brasstown Carvers. Her attention to quality and detail brought great demand for her carvings. She began with napkin rings, progressed to animal figures – especially cats – and later carved Christmas ornaments and human figures. Ruth made her own patterns. Her son Claude Hawkins was also a Brasstown Carver.
