Welcome
to Martha Forbes
home on the web!
|
Some folks call me " Martha Forbes Ferguson
" but if you want ya'll can just call me Martha Forbes or Marty.
I practice the art of chair bottom weaving on a part time basis.
Now just sit back and I will tell you a little about myself and what I
do. I grew up in the beautiful rugged mountains of East Tennessee.
It is because of my mountain background that I chose to continue the Appalachian
pride and workmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation
and hand weave my chair bottoms based on traditional Appalachian
design and methods.
Martha Forbes Ferguson believes in the importance
of workmanship as well as the pride and care that goes into each
hand-crafted item. There is something so calming about working
with your hands and weaving a chair until it is completed and a beautiful
work of
art again.
My family and I now live in the friendly area
of Brush Creek, Tennessee which is where my studio is located. Quality
chair caning and basket weaving are done in my studio. Here I duplicate
the original patterns of long ago so each one is as authentic as
I can possibly
make it.
If you are in the area you are welcome to c'mon
in and visit me. Or if it more convenient just take the online tour!
After you have looked around a bit
you will see why Martha Forbes Ferguson always says....
"Works of art that come from the heart !"
Thanks for visiting me at my home on the
web!
