Thompson, is the presenting artist at Sewee Visitor Center on Saturday, August 21. Barbara will bring this time-honored craft to Sewee, demonstrate the traditional art form of sweet grass basket weaving/sewing and offer her baskets for sale from 10 AM to 2 PM. African American sea grass basketry has evolved, over three hundred years, from an agricultural and household craft practiced primarily in slave quarters of Low Country plantations, to a modern art form produced for sale. This gifted lady will sell her handiwork, take orders for additional pieces and highlight this historical tradition of the Low Country rice culture. Come see this beautiful sewing/weaving technique and select baskets that you can use every day and treasure for a lifetime. This program is free and open to the public. Free Demonstration
