Kentucky crafts : handmade and heartfelt

"American arts and crafts have achieved international cultural prominence, and none with more acclaim than those that arise from the richly woven tradition of handcrafting in Kentucky. For more than two hundred years, artisans across the state--from the hills of Appalachia to the bluegrass country of Lexington and beyond--have been creating objects of simple function and beauty. In this magnificently illustrated volume, produced in cooperation with the Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation, Phyllis George, Kentucky's former First Lady, takes us on a personal journey across her state to talk with some of the most fascinating Kentuckians carrying on that tradition today."--Book jacket
