Hartman Deetz

Hartman Deetz is an enrolled member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe who has spent decades honing his skills in traditional Wampanoag arts, wood carving, stone carving, copper work, feather work, antler, bone and Wampum. Deetz learned from his family, and tribal elders and artists such as Daryl Wixon, Bruzzy Hendricks, Stewart Turner, Brian Bartibogue, and Bob Charlibioux. 

Deetz worked in museum artifact reproduction and exhibits and is a pow wow dancer who has made much of his own dance regalia. 

He is a skilled maker of wampum beads and jewelry cut from quahog shells. His work reflects this strong historical background in his selections of design and material with some selective contemporary additions.
