Description
One audio cassette. Garrison discusses growing up in South Carolina; moving to Jacksonville in 1964; learning basketry at three years old; the basket making process; use of materials: sweet grass, pine needles, palmetto; weaving; uses of baskets in home; selling baskets; types of baskets; basket making in Mt. Pleasant, SC; basket handles; and decline of the tradition. For images of Garrison, see S 1577, v. 37. 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.
