How it Used to Be

About this item

Description From the series Ripples. Older ways of doing things are celebrated at an annual folk festival where people share traditions with each other and with thou-sands of visitors who come to see the way things used to be. The blacksmith hammers and bends tools from glowing iron; sheep-herders gather and hand-shear their sheep.Potters shape graceful dishes from formless clay mounds. Old-fashioned toys are recalled by woodcarvers, arid by men and women who turn dried apples and corncobs into dolls.
