Biscuit Cutter #4 My dad grew up the son of sharec Biscuit Cutter #4
My dad grew up the son of sharecroppers on a farm near Between, Georgia. The farm was down a dirt road in Split Silk.
As a kid, we would make the trip to Split Silk on Thanksgiving. More like a pilgrimage. This is where my grandmother taught me to make biscuits. I carried on the tradition by teaching my daughter how to make them correctly.

I started making cloisonné hearts about 25 years I started making cloisonné hearts about 25 years ago for Valentines Day. The tradition continues. Each year I make a very limited production of two dozen hearts in an array of colors. Each is made in the studio in Carrboro, and just like the first ones long ago, the price remains the same $250.00. The hallmark “JBC” on reverse side. Only 10 remain! Call the studio919-240-5253 or email info@jamescarterstudio.com for more information.
