Jack Hall carving at the John C. Campbell Folk School booth at a craft fair, 1965. Jack Hall (1920-1984) was a second-generation Brasstown Carver from the Hall family, who moved from Buncombe County, NC, to the area around John C. Campbell Folk School in the 1920s. A short documentary about Jack, titled "The Woodland Carver," brought notoriety to him and the Folk School in the early 1950s. Following Murray Martin’s retirement, Jack led the Brasstown Carvers until the early 1980s.
