Bringle: A Tale of Two Makers tells the inspiring life story of eighty-four-year-old identical twins, Cynthia Bringle and Edwina Bringle who have led storied lives as craftspeople in the South: producing remarkable works of art; mentoring a vast community of makers; and sharing what they know with students, visitors, and collectors at every turn. They have been anchors in the studio craft movement from the 1960s to the present and have enabled others to carry those traditions forward. The Bringle sisters are not only masters of their craft but the life they've built and the legacy they've created is a beautiful work of art in itself.
