Southern Craft Traditions
The High Museum’s Decorative Arts and Design Department collects outstanding works by Southern makers. Combining utility with a strong sense of form, Southern craft is noted for the vitality and originality it brings to useful objects such as furniture, pottery, and needlework. Ranging from works by some of today’s best craftsmen to historically rare and important vernacular works from the nineteenth century, this collection honors the South’s long-standing craft tradition.
