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 employed by silversmiths 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 forth. Her designs have been exhibited internationally and nationally, 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 have an opportunity to purchase items.

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