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.
