Photos of Modern Carvers and Carvings

Hi People,

Carol Ventura, Ph.D., who is on the faculty at Tennessee Tech, has a nice series of websites with photos of work done by modern African carvers, and of the carvers themselves. The carvers aren't making fakes, you can buy directly from them and there is no make-believe aging of their stuff. Of course, someone else might manipulate what they made to make it look older, but this is surely not the intention at the handicraft centers in which they work.

If you are interested in seeing the sites - and I recommend them enthusiastically - here is the main URL:

It has links to the others.

Regards,

Steve Price
