Join me and these wonderful artists for the American Craft Council's National Craft Open Studios Weekend on July 18–19, 2026, at the beautiful, Historic Penn Center on St. Helena Island!
Discover how yesterday's textiles become tomorrow's heirlooms.
Step inside my studio and discover Beautility—where heritage crafts transform forgotten textiles into beautiful, useful objects for intentional living. Throughout the weekend, I'll be demonstrating Gullah Rag Quilting, Rag Crochet, and Toothbrush Rug Making, sharing how discarded fabrics become heirloom-quality rugs, baskets, and home goods rooted in African American tradition.
My studio will be open 12:00–5:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. I'd love to welcome you, answer your questions, and share the stories behind these remarkable traditions.
