Picture Crochet Swirl Jewelry and Decorated Pots Revival
A group of residents works on crochet swirl jewelry and decorated red clay pots using modeling paste and fluorescent paint. Names listed include Mrs. John Farmer, Miss Rita Draper, Mrs. Walter Cutsing, Donna Trotter, Mrs. James Brannen, Eva Beasley, Mrs. C. E. McMillan, and others from Gilmer, West Mountain, Spring Hill, Big Sandy and nearby areas. The project signals a revival of a nearly-lost craft popular in the late 1890s and early 1900s.
