She enjoyed experimentingContinue reading “Closing Reception for Tennille Shuster”
Senior Curator at Telfair Museum of Art, gave a talk about the artwork and the fascinating life of William O. Golding/Golden of Liberty County. Golding’s work is on display at an exhibit at the Jepson Center in Savannah through August 28. Ashantilly has loaned our 2 Goldings for this exhibit.
In honor of Earth Day, visitors to the shop printed on recycled paper. “Make Readies” (printer’s term for trial prints) were cut to size and a Dolly Parton quote was set for guests to print!
Ashantilly participated in Art in the Park during the Blessing of the Fleet. Visitors to our tent were able to print on our small Kelsey press. Our T-Shirts were a hit as was our selection of local history books and Letterpress cards and coasters.
After a 2 year delay (thank-you, Covid), we were finally able to have our Scotch Tasting! It was well worth the wait as participants were treated to eight different Scotches instead of the usual six! Many thanks to Vince Becker of Habersham Beverage in Savannah, and his suppliers for making this an outstanding event!

Ashantilly’s Long Leaf Pines have done well! A controlled burn keeps them healthy. Planted as a demonstration site, the trees have flourished. Georgia Forestry has been instrumental in helping us with this project.
Due to Covid, Ashantilly held our annual meeting via Zoom. Several Board members attended in person. Officers and Board members were elected. President Harriet Langford presented a summary of accomplishments completed in 2021.
