Southern Appalachian Folkways

Living and working in a region deeply rooted in its history, Southern Appalachian artisans and crafters take pride in maintaining traditional techniques.

This diverse group, a tight-knit community, range in age from thirty-two to ninety-two. These creators build unique designs that perpetuate the legacy of their craft and serve to pass their skills to future generations. Artists like the late Willard Watson and Stanley Hicks played sizable roles in the local industry. Other designers include Cory Plott, blazing new trails in pottery, and William Ritter, making waves as a musician, historian and storyteller. Author and artist Bob Plott offers a heartfelt history and a tribute to these amazing people.
