Sweetgrass Basket Making Class at the Gullah Museum

Make a traditional sweetgrass basket with your own hands under the guidance of master basket maker Vera Manigault on Wednesday , February 26th, from 11 am to 2 pm ET at the Gullah Museum in Georgetown, SC. Vera's family has created these vessels of memory for eight generations. Gullah Geechees have made sweetgrass baskets for centuries in a style that is identical to the coil baskets of West and Central Africa. The class fee is $75—all materials needed to make a basket are included. The minimum number of participants is 10. If the number of participants is less than 10, you will receive a full refund or you can reschedule for another class. Here is the link to register for the class: https://bit.ly/3VQd3Yt
