Gullah Rag Quilting Workshop

Event Details

The Charleston Museum welcomes back Sharon Cooper-Murray, aka the Gullah Lady, for a lecture and hands-on workshop about the folk art tradition of rag quilting on Saturday, January 11, 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Cooper-Murray has set out on a mission to preserve this disappearing art form, which she has learned from elderly Gullah women from Wadmalaw and Johns Island.

This quilting tradition, which dates to the antebellum period, was passed from generation to generation until recent years.

The $45/member, $50/non-member registration includes all materials. Advance registration is required; early registration is strongly encouraged as previous sessions have sold out quickly. Register online through the Charleston Museum's calendar of events or by calling 722.2996 x235.
