Join us at the next installment of the Speaker at the Center series with Charleston silversmith Kaminer Haislip. Haislip's rice spoon was recently added to the Charleston Museum's collection, and she has received a grant from SC Humanities to study silver techniques abroad. Kaminer 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 that silversmiths have employed for centuries. 

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 forward. Her designs have been exhibited internationally and nationally and 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.

Additionally, she will display a selection of her silver functional home objects and jewelry, and attendees will be able to purchase items.

The SC Silver Society will also be at the event. https://southcarolinasilversociety.org/
