Join us to hear an amazing story about Sweetgrass Weaving and how this special art form has greatly been kept alive and greatly been improved over the decades while watching him weaving a beautiful basket. Alston is a great story teller who has artfully crafted a many beautiful baskets since he was a teenager. He puts the same amount of care and consideration into every piece – making sure it is just as eye-catching as the last. He will talk about why the Gullah Geechee heritage Corridor in South Carolina is so unique.

Corey Alston is one of eight recipients in the 4th Annual Black History Banquet in Charleston, South Carolina. He owns the company called Gullah Woven. He was chosen as the weaver for the 2018 Sweetgrass Culture Arts Festival.
