Sharon Richardson was born and raised in Mount Pleasant, SC. She is a 6th generation sweetgrass basket weaver. She was taught to weave at the age of seven. Hergreat-grandmother, grandmother and mother all taught her different styles and techniques of weaving.

She hasbeen weaving all throughout my adult life part-time. She started making sweetgrass jewelry about 10 years ago as a fun way to show case my love for the art. The recent pandemic forced her to rely on craft as a source of income.We are so pleased to present her unique and wearable creations to you.
