I met Carl in 2001, when arranging for him to demonstrate his smith work at that year\u2019s event, where the theme was The Arts of Preservation and Conservation.<\/p>\n<p>Another artisan, Jim Ialeggio of Shirley, was a window restorer for historic houses and buildings. When Carl\u2019s wife Susan, co-manager of their Hammersmith Studios, looked at a lock on one of Jim\u2019s windows, she said, &#8220;This looks like Carl\u2019s work.\u201d Indeed it was. Carl and Jim met, the two artisans began doing business directly, and cut out the middle broker. It\u2019s festival moments like this\u2014when artists meet, admire each other\u2019s work, and forge bonds\u2014that we folklorists live for.<\/p>\n<p>The 20<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">th<\/span>\u00a0festival in 2006 featured crafts traditions from across New England. Abenaki basketmaker Jesse Larocque, from Vermont, was pounding black ash to make the splints for his baskets. He started out Saturday pounding a large log and by Sunday afternoon it was merely the size of a walking stick. I happened to go past as two women were commenting, \u201cNow I know why baskets are so expensive,\u201d seeing the amount of physical work, as well as artistry, that goes into them. Another festival moment for me, a visual teachable moment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6620\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6620\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6620 size-full\" title=\"Jesse Larocque pounding black ash at Lowell Folk Festival\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Jesse-Larocque-pounding-black-ash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Jesse-Larocque-pounding-black-ash.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.massfolkarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Jesse-Larocque-pounding-black-ash-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jesse Larocque pounding black ash at Lowell Folk Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 2003 festival showcased regional textile traditions.
