Carolyn Anderson is a long-standing member of the renowned Brasstown Carvers and a member of The Southern Highlands Craft Guild. Carolyn was influenced by family member and Brasstown Carver Ruth Fleming Hawkins. She has also furthered her carvings by studying under fellow Brasstown Carver, Helen Gibson. Carolyn is fond of carving Crèche figures, wooden spool Santa ornaments, and St. Francis of Assisi, which she carves holding a cat or dog in his arms. Always quick with encouragement to new carvers, she possesses a sweet and generous nature and is a genuine embodiment of the Folk School’s values of Joy, Kindness, and Stewardship.
