Workshop with Andrew McCall

In partnership with the Alabama Folklife Association. For information about workshops in Dadeville, Shorter, Tallassee, and Tuskegee, visit the AFA website.

A Lowndes County native, Andrew McCall has practiced vine weaving and reclaimed wood design for four decades. His handcrafted baskets, furniture, and rustic décor are made from locally-sourced wisteria, grapevines, and salvaged wood. McCall’s hands-on workshops blend practical skill and storytelling, inspiring participants to create with purpose and connect with their roots.

The Alabama Folklife Association and the Caroline Marshall Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities are proud to lead the new Traditional Artist-in-Residence program to spotlight, support, and share the work of talented traditional artists in Alabama! Artists spend one week in residence at Auburn University, teaching their craft at free workshops in Auburn and local surrounding communities.
