The Artisans of the South Carolina Cotton Trail recently announced the induction of three new members:  Jim Gleason, Ann Page and Christopher Starr.

ASCCT members go through a two-part jury process before being asked to join the regional guild.  Artists who live, work or create in Chesterfield, Darlington, Florence, Lee and Marlboro Counties are eligible for membership, as well as artists who create cotton-themed work. 

With the addition of Gleason, Page and Starr, the group is now up to nearly 40 artists.
