about Jery Taylor

Jery Taylor began learning the art of sweetgrass sewing from her grandmother at the age of five on the Boone Hall Plantation grounds in Mt. Pleasant, SC. As she continued to learn and grow, so did her dedication to the Gullah-Geechee culture and arts. Her work has been featured on HGTV and the Discovery Channel and included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian and private collections.
