ARTS AND CRAFTS Guide

The ARTS AND CRAFTS GUIDE aggregates ARTS AND CRAFTS of both traditional arts and crafts forms as well as so-called traditional Appalachian arts and crafts that are associated with Pine Mountain Settlement School.

The examples are taken from arts and crafts created at Pine Mountain Settlement School and those created by nearby residents. The described examples are included within standard art and craft categories such as: WEAVING ; CERAMICS ; BROOM-MAKING ; CHAIR-MAKING ; FURNITURE ; CORN-SHUCK DOLLS ; SEWING ; QUILTING ; FIRESIDE INDUSTRIES ; BASKETRY ; METALCRAFT ; TOY-MAKING ; etc.. — though some examples incorporate multiple types of craft or fall outside the boundaries of typical categories. 

The VISUAL ARTS such as PAINTING and PRINTMAKING, are found within their own headings.

For an overview of artists and craftspeople at Pine Mountain Settlement School through the years, go to ARTS AND CRAFTS PMSS Overview.

         CERAMICS [POTTERY] 

*”Ceramic” is usually the accepted general term for the art form and “Pottery” is generally considered to be a sub-set of the term and is used to refer to clay pots or earthenware vessels. Ceramics may include vessels or objects made of materials that fall outside of standard clay. Pine Mountain uses “pottery” throughout their literature and clay (often native) is the material of choice.
