| Description | This photograph of Quentin Clayton with a small carving was taken by Doris Ulmann in the Brasstown, N.C. area, in 1933 or 1934. Eleanor Roosevelt purchased one of Clayton's carvings at the Mountain Handicrafts exhibit sponsored by the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in Washington, D.C. in 1933. Clayton's family was active in the formation and early activities of the John C. Campbell Folk School. Clayton learned to carve at the Folk School in 1933 and most likely carved for the school's woodcarving cooperative that later became known as the Brasstown Carvers. Clayton also attended classes at the Folk School in 1937. Clayton's name has also been spelled Quenton Clayton and Quinton Clayton. |
