| Description | This angel carved from holly wood was made by Olive Dame Campbell (1882-1954), founder of the John C. Campbell Folk School. Campbell was not a carver per se, but was the type of administrator who experienced school activities first-hand. She sometimes worked on the school's farm; in the studio, she tried her hand at carving. |
