We had a great time in Found Plates printmaking today. This class gives you a taste of the printing process without the stress of creating carved blocks or etched plates. Today, students created unique works by combining prints from a variety of plates and blocks previously abandoned or discarded. Want to try this out? Check back in May for another Found Plates session. #trysomethingnew #domoreofwhatyoulove #printmaking #swva #artlabwkma #williamkingmuseum

In honor of Black History month, we are sharing the work of Black artists, designers and craftspeople.

Gullah culture has thrived on the coast of the Southern United States for hundreds of years. The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of enslaved people in the isolated coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina. West African languages and cultures were preserved and integrated into Gullah heritage.

Weaving sweetgrass baskets are one of the many traditions passed down through generations. Gullah children help harvest sweetgrass and learn the stiching techniques for baskets from a young age.
