America is full of folk art. There are baskets, corn-husk dolls, scrimshaw, stenciled decorations, and any number of others. For each of the folk arts presented here, the authors have told who practiced the art, when, where, and sometimes why. There are pictures of good examples of the craft along with instructions for creating similar versions, sometimes in much the same way the old ones were made, sometimes using material and techniques the old makers did not have.
