Book excerpt: Using taped interviews with American craftsmen of Romanian descent as its source, this study considers artists who continue to create crafts in the tradition of specific Romanian villages.

Despite the material changes in their work, all of these craftsmen continue to be inspired by the Orthodox religious motivation of their ancestors.
