Sweet grass basket making has been a part of the Mount Pleasant community for more than 300 years. Brought to the area by slaves who came from West Africa, basket making is a traditional art form which has been passed on from generation to generation. 

Today, it is one of the oldest art forms of African origin in the United States. Mount Pleasant, South Carolina enjoys the distinction of being the only place where this was practiced. 

Mae Hall has had her sweetgrass craft displayed in museums throughout the South. Governor's mansions in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama have had her sweet grass baskets on public display. Mae has made custom sweetgrass baskets for luxury shopping  malls in Myrtle Beach to be enjoyed by shoppers. She has had numerous articles written about her in Coastal Living, Southern Living, Positive Thinking, and ThinkingInInk.Com magazines.  She is truly a remarkable woman with a wonderful art.
