18th Annual Miniatures Show!-Announcement
American Folk loves to represent our regional Face Jug makers. This jug, by 5th generation Georgia potter Wayne Hewell, is a fine example of a mash-up of a Face Jug and a Wedding Jug. Faces began being added to moonshine jugs here in about 1810. Wedding Jugs have been used in ceremonies for ages. During a wedding celebration a beverage was poured into the central spout. The Bride would then take a drink out of one of the side spouts, The Groom would sip from another. Someone from each of their families would drink from the other side spouts symbolizing the joining of the clans. To read more and see all of the Face Jugs we currently have available, take a look HERE.

Within the pages of our website, you will see a variety of selectively curated contemporary self-taught artists. Painters, Whittlers, Carvers & Potters, American Folk presents makers from South Louisiana all the way to Maine with one goal in mind: To expose the world to the creative powers and originality of our artists. Their visions bring life, color, joy and complexity to our gallery and to your home. Self-taught art ranges from what is referred to as primitive all the way to exquisitely contemporary. We know these artists and only purchase directly from them; some who have garnered world wide attention, some exclusive to American Folk….all have a unique way of expressing their world & their hearts. We are inspired by them every day….
