Folk Artisans

Artisans continue the folk arts tradition at Great Camp Sagamore, supported for nearly two decades by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA.)  These talented traditional artists who have learned from their forebears have demonstrated for tours in July and August:

  • Bill Smith, the Adirondack pack basket
  • Francoise Ouimet, wagon wheel rugs
  • Annis Holmes, buff mittens
  • David Woodward, blacksmithing
  • Helen Condon, braided wool rugs
  • Chris Ferris-Hubbard, chair caning
  • Ron Riley, wood carving
  • Chris Woodward, the Adirondack guide boat

Visitors who see presentations at 10A or 1:30P report a greatly enhanced tour experience.  Great Camp Sagamore is proud of its long partnership with NYSCA and is pleased to be a place where people can learn about traditional arts from these wonderful people.
