2021 marks the 9th consecutive April that American Folk Art will devote to the regional tradition of Face Jugs. These jugs began to appear in these parts in the very early 1800’s. The addition of the Faces, snakes and other foreboding iconography was added to Moonshine jugs as a clever way to keep children from drinking the hooch stored within.
