Kaminer Haislip - Charleston Silver, Past to Present

Charleston silversmith Kaminer Haislip will present a lecture titled Charleston Silver, Past to Present on the history of colonial Charleston silversmithing and how it relates to her contemporary silver designs. She will describe her handcrafted process in which she uses tools and techniques employed by silversmiths for centuries. Additionally, she will display a selection of her silver functional home objects and jewelry and attendees will have an opportunity to purchase items.

Nationally recognized for her metalwork, Kaminer is the only silversmith practicing in Charleston. Inspired by Charleston's long-standing silversmithing tradition, she feels compelled to carry it forth. Her designs have been exhibited internationally and nationally, featured in over sixty publications, including Metalsmith, The Magazine Antiques, Traditional Home, Elle Décor, Garden & Gun, Southern Living, Charleston Magazine, Charleston Weddings, and on the TV show Handcrafted America.

The South Carolina Silver Society will also have a table at the event.
