Huguenot Society of South Carolina Lecture Video

On September 21, 2023 the Huguenot Society of South Carolina hosted me for a lecture on the history of colonial Charleston silversmithing and how it relates to my contemporary silver designs. I described my handcrafted process in which I use tools and techniques employed by silversmiths for centuries. Additionally, I included a history of the Huguenots and their contributions to the craft by highlighting several colonial Huguenot silversmiths. The Huguenot Society of South Carolina, who is based in historic downtown Charleston, have several beautiful pieces of silver in their collection, so those objects were also a feature of the presentation.

Colonial Silver Lecture – Huguenot Society of South Carolina

The Huguenot Society of South Carolina was established in 1885 to preserve the memory of the Huguenots who left France prior to the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration, November 28, 1787. Today, the Charleston based Society has nearly 2,000 members who are descendants of those Huguenots.

Kaminer Haislip’s colonial silver lecture will focus on how historic silversmithing has influenced her work. In addition to discussing past Charleston silversmithing, she will also highlight several French Huguenot silversmiths and their contributions to early America.
