Lynette Youson, a fifth-generation basket weaver who lives in the low country of South Carolina, dedicates her time as an afterschool instructor teaching sweetgrass basket weaving to students. Lynette has weaved for over 50 years with her mother and remembers fondly learning from her great-grandmother; carrying on the tradition, she has taught her daughters and granddaughters the art. But Lynette’s teachings extend beyond her family and local community; she has traveled across the country leading workshops to teach the art of basket weaving.
