Description
Betty Johnson and Max Johnson with small woodcarvings, 1993. Brasstown Carver Betty Johnson (1933-2017) did not begin carving until later in her life, but she grew up watching the work of Nolan Beaver and other Brasstown Carvers. Her pastor, Rev. Hoyt Brown (also a Brasstown Carver), gave Betty her first block to carve. She and her husband Max Johnson (1933-1995) quickly became prolific carvers, often signing their pieces "JJ" for "Johnson & Johnson." Original material held by the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
