Anna Fariello will be at the store on Friday, September 10th at 7:00 p.m. to offer a program based on her new book, Cherokee Basketry: From the Hands of Our Elders. A tradition that dates back almost ten thousand years, basketry is an integral part of Cherokee culture. In her book, Fariello describes the craft's forms, functions, and methods, and she records the tradition's celebrated makers. Anna Fariello is director of the Craft Revival Project, a website and digital archive at WCU's Hunter library dedicated to documenting the effort to revive handcrafts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
