Beginnings

 

Reasons for this Blog

This blog is a result of research done for a humanities course (with an art designation) for teacher re-certification.  Special thanks go to the instructor F.H. who supplied advice and encouragement.  Posting course research online should assist the Virginia Department of Education in assessing the value of this course.  Initial research concentrated on folk artists with ties to the Western Tidewater area of Southeast Virginia.  This blog will not be limited to that area.

Invitation to Folk Artists across the USA

Additionally, it is hoped that folk artists will find this blog and be encouraged to submit profiles as well as descriptions and photographs of their work.  (Please limit photographs to no larger than 300 kb.)  This blog is not intended as a forum for sales.  Prices will not be posted.  Anyone wanting to sell items will have to do so privately and directly using other channels of communication.
