Such amazing artistry! Craft in America is the best TH-cam has to offer!!!!
Years ago I was in Charleston, SC and had the opportunity to purchase a sweet grass basket from one of the ladies who had them for sale. I will always treasure the basket because it was handmade. Anything handmade is a treasure.
It's a beautiful privilege to see all these amazing artisans create. Thank you so much for documenting these artists, their stories and sharing it for the world!
If I had to choose only one subscription to a series, this would be it. Joyful, awe-inspiring and informative.
I am thoroughly enjoying the Craft in America series. Thank you
The voice of that blacksmith soothed me right into my soft spot... oh my...
Thank you for the history and the people who do such wonderful crafts.
I’m enjoying this series so much.
I love how the child knows the importance of keeping the tradition with her own children one day.
Those baskets are lovely.
I love the Native American baskets too, how they tell a story.
At 51:46 the little girl very thoughtful, tradition is so important for our children it's always a reminder for where they came from and where they belong
I love the story of of the women. How they passed down then knowledge generation to generation. With the making of beautiful baskets. Remembering their people.
I love watching "Craft in America"

Incredible artisans and history behind all contributing creators ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for these documentaries 😊
What an articulate and thoughtful little girl!
You make really beautiful baskets. Very creative and a sense of humor too. 😁🗑️
I was once in a thrift store and noticed a basket that was beautiful to me and I could see it was not made at a factory. I grabbed it and the cashier said it was fifty cents. When I got home I noticed it had on the back a cloth label said that that it was handmade by Annabelle Ellis and members of her family in Charleston S.C. Years later I was told it was a sweet grass basket and probably worth over a hundred dollars. I wouldn't take a million for it.
You would, though 🙂
BEAUTIFUL! HOLD ON TO IT! IT WAS MADE BY PRECIOUS HANDS!!!
Your baskets are beautiful
Great film Thank you.
I’m 4 foot 11 and I’ve never yet sat in a chair that I have been comfortable in I would so love to try one of these
Towards the end of the documentary the granddaughter stole my heart 💜
Mine too isn't she beautiful
Archetype Archetype mine too
Completely🤗 both her Mother & Grandmother must have been so proud at that moment... I wonder if she still does weaving today?
@@poodledoodlequilter6479 ohmygawwd yess! and she was so wise! beautiful soul. her mom and grandmother taught her very well! lovely!
Watching these wonderful artists and crafters takes me away to another place in my mind and reminds me of what could have been if I worked a little harder and persued my own dream of making stained glass and crafting native art.
Too many broken dreams, but it's great to see those who were able to become great crafters.
Beautifull pieses....and that blacksmeth has a wonderful voice!
Great series - love to hear from the artists
An enormous amount of American beauty
This series is amazing!

Hello from Cambridge UK. Love this series, some amazing work and how wonderful to see people with a passion which makes them so contented. (Tom Joyce, I could listen to your calming voice all day :0) ).
ohmygoodness yess!! talk about melting! he reminds me of Bob Ross!! Ahhhhhhhhh!
This must be the most beautiful rendition of "Simple Gifts" I've ever heard. I wish a full version would be released somewhere!
Not taking away from William Morris, but, I know that the American craftsman had and always will be prevalent a strong mark of Americanism
Thanks
Thank you.
If you visit or live in Southern California, visit the Sam Maloof house. They give tours. I had a wonderful time.
We love the Maloof house! Look out for upcoming content we shot with them a few weeks ago.
@@craftinamerica Look forward to it. Thanks!

"I started making furniture a long time ago, but it never occurred to me that, really in
a way, that people make furniture, you know, I didn’t think anybody did this" = most European, White Male sentence ever
Use your "whole brain"!
The gift theme song is no gift! It's obnoxious! Get rid of it, please!
