Artist Biography:
Gladys Clark is probably the only remaining traditional Acadian weaver of coton jaune, or brown cotton. Clark learned the skills of growing, carding, spinning, and weaving brown cotton from her grandmother and her mother. Clark and her husband plant and harvest their own brown cotton. They also hand pick it, and then take it to North Louisiana for ginning to remove the seeds. Clark then cards and spins the cotton for weaving.
