Description
A four hundred year tradition brought to America by western African slaves, basket stands are spaced out all along Ocean Highway. Once a necessity, today's baskets have evolved into usable artwork. The sweetgrass reeds are harvested from the Lowcountry wetlands, naturally resisting rot and decay. Reflecting the artist's skill and personal tastes, the amount of basket patterns and shapes are truly amazing.
