SUMMARY:Sweetgrass Basket Weaving Workshop — Charleston\, South Carolina — May 9\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:If you enjoy basket weaving\, traditional basketry\, Southern folk art\, and hands-on weaving workshops\, the Sweetgrass Basket Weaving Workshop in Charleston\, South Carolina\, is a meaningful event to watch. This workshop is scheduled for Saturday\, May 9\, 2026\, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Charleston Museum\, 360 Meeting Street\, Charleston\, SC 29403. \nThis Charleston basket weaving event focuses on the art of sweetgrass basketry\, a tradition the museum describes as an integral part of the Lowcountry’s Gullah Geechee community since the 17th century. During the class\, participants receive in-depth instruction\, hear a brief history of the craft\, and then make their own basket with guided support. The museum states that all materials and instruction are provided. \nFor readers of North Georgia Basketry\, this is the kind of regional event that connects basket making\, cultural history\, and fiber art education in a very personal way. While many basket weaving events focus mainly on technique\, this workshop also highlights the living heritage behind the work\, making it especially appealing for those interested in traditional basket weaving\, heritage crafts\, and Southeastern basketry. \nTeacher Information\nThe listed instructor is Sarah Edwards-Hammond\, a local artisan and Gullah Geechee sweetgrass basket weaver from the Charleston area. The Charleston Museum says she comes from a long line of basket makers and has passed the tradition on to her family and others in the community. \nAdditional background from other event and museum-related sources describes Sarah Edwards-Hammond as a Mount Pleasant\, South Carolina\, artist who has carried forward a family basket-making tradition for generations. The Charleston Museum has also described her family as descended from West African artists who brought the craft to the Lowcountry about 300 years ago\, and Brookgreen Gardens identifies her as a master Gullah Geechee sweetgrass basket weaver whose family tradition spans five generations. \nThat teaching background gives this workshop added value for anyone interested not only in making a basket\, but also in learning from a tradition bearer with deep cultural and family ties to the craft. For basket makers in Georgia and across the Southeast\, that makes this workshop more than a class; it is also an opportunity to experience a respected Lowcountry basketry tradition firsthand. \nRegistration and Event Details\nThe Charleston Museum lists the workshop fee as $75 for museum members and $105 for non-members. The event page notes that space is limited\, reservations are required\, and registration can be completed online or by phone. The museum also provides cancellation terms\, including advance notice requirements for refunds or transfers. \nEvent DetailsEvent: Sweetgrass Basket Weaving WorkshopDate: May 9\, 2026Time: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.Location: The Charleston MuseumAddress: 360 Meeting Street\, Charleston\, South Carolina 29403Instructor: Sarah Edwards-Hammond \n\nSweetgrass Basket Weaving Workshop\, Charleston basket weaving workshop\, South Carolina basketry event\, sweetgrass basket class Charleston\, Gullah Geechee basket weaving\, Lowcountry basketry\, traditional basket weaving workshop\, basket weaving events near Georgia\, Southeastern basketry events\, North Georgia Basketry
