Ten beautifully illustrated essays tell the stories of handcrafted
objects and their makers, providing inspiration and insight into
Black history and craftsmanship.Black artisans have long been
central to American art and design, creating innovative and highly
desired work against immense odds. Atlanta-based chairmaker and

of Black craft, including: The celebrated wooden chairs of Richard
Poynor, an enslaved craftsman who began a dynasty of Tennessee
chairmakers. The elegant wrought-iron gates of Philip Simmons, seen
to this day throughout Charleston, South Carolina, whose work
features motifs from the Low Country.The inventive assemblage art
and yard shows of Joe Minter, James Hampton, Bessie Harvey, and
others, who draw on African spiritual traditions to create
large-scale improvisational art installations. From the enslaved
potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, to Ann Lowe, the couture
dressmaker who made Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress, to Gullah
Geechee sweetgrass basket makers, to the celebrated quilters of
Gee's Bend, A Short History of Black Craft in Ten Objects
illuminates the work of generations of Black craftspeople,
foregrounding their enduring contributions to American
craft.Perfect for: Anyone interested in the intersection of Black
art, craft, and history Designers and craftspeople Educators and
