Images of the 1993-1994 Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program
- Date
- 1993
- Description
- Eleven color slides. Duplicate slides from the fieldwork files used for the 1993-1994 Folk Arts Apprenticeship booklet. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller, and then Robert Stone. The program was continued each year through 2004.

Interview with wood worker John Cross
- Date
- 1985-04-03
- Description
- Twenty color slides. Duffy, an East European, demonstrates traditional methods for decorating Easter eggs to San Pablo Elementary students. The Folk Arts in Education Project in Duval County was a joint venture between the Duval County School System and the Florida Folklife Program. It was started in 1984 by folklorist David Taylor with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to add to existing social studies curriculum. The project consisted of field research to identify local traditions and folk artists, a series of five two-day seminars to acquaint teachers with the use of folklore and folk arts, in-school programs conducted by a folklorist and traditionalist, which included visits by local folk artists. Taylor ran it until 1986. In 1988, Gregory Hansen re-initiated it with minor changes.

- One proof sheet with 9 black and white images (plus negatives). Gurley was born in a village in the Ukraine, where she learned traditional egg decorating (pysanky).

Using a stylus called a kystka, she draws the designs with wax, then dips the egg into various paints for the many colors used.
