Mary Crovatt Hambidge: Whistler, Wanderer, Weaver, Utopian (2017, remastered 2021)

Born and raised in a prominent south Georgia family, Mary Crovatt Hambidge hung out in bohemian circles in New York in the 1920s, then found her calling after she moved to the north Georgia mountains where she started a weaving business that employed local spinners and weavers. Over the next 20 years, she would receive international honors and be invited to show her work at the Smithsonian and the Museum of Modern Art. In the last decade of her life, she focused more on developing a community for artists and craftspeople, which led to the creation of the Hambidge Center, a renowned artist's retreat, in 1973. One of the defining moments of her life was discovering the theory of dynamic symmetry... and falling in love with the man who wrote the book on it. http://www.hjacobscreative.com/mary-c...
