Dive into the fascinating world of white sharks as we explore cutting-edge research projects happening right here in the Northwest Atlantic. This engaging lecture will uncover how scientists study these iconic predators and the innovative conservation efforts working to protect them and our ocean ecosystems.
About the speaker:Dr. Megan Winton, Senior Scientist, Atlantic White Shark ConservancyAs an aspiring shark scientist growing up in northeast Florida, Megan thought she would have to travel across the globe, or at the very least the United States, if she ever wanted to study great white sharks. She had no idea they were swimming right past her every winter during the course of their southern migration. Now the Senior Scientist at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, a Cape Cod, Massachusetts, based nonprofit, she is leading efforts to study the species along the east coast, including the southeast, which represents the new frontier for great white research in the Atlantic. Her research uses a combination of cutting-edge technologies and creative approaches to study the movements, behavior, and impacts of human activities on great whites and other shark species. In her talk, she’ll discuss how recent scientific advances are shedding light on the secret lives of sharks and transforming people’s perceptions of this iconic species.
Our lecture series allows you to learn from the experts. With a wide range of topics from Lowcountry wildlife and history to best practices for your home and garden, there’s truly something for everyone!

Nature Writing: Kayak on the Chechessee and Write about It, with Katherine Tandy Brown

RSVP Required. Click the orange “Book a Program” button on our website to sign up!portroyalsoundfoundation.org
We who live in the South Carolina Lowcountry are fortunate to be surrounded by its extraordinary nature – the marsh and its seasons, live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, 180 degrees of ever-changing sky, marsh and shore birds, crabs and dolphins and fish, the bright sunshine that lights this southern world, and of course, water…the ocean and rivers and their tides. In this workshop you’ll kayak on the Chechessee River with guides from the Maritime Center for a morning immersion in Carolina’s nature at its finest.
Then – like Henry David Thoreau on Walden Pond – you’ll take pen to paper and write about any part of the adventure you choose. Anyone at any level of writing, from rank beginner to pretty darn good, can write using a method called writing practice, developed by writing workshop guru Natalie Goldberg and presented in her classic book, Writing Down the Bones. You’ll learn how to get rid of the self-critic so that your thoughts flow freely onto the page. And you’ll leave with a chunk of nature writing and a memory of time well spent.
Dress for a journey on the water, and be sure to bring sunscreen, a water bottle, notebook or journal, and several pens.
Katherine Tandy Brown has explored the world as a freelance travel writer for 20-plus years. She has taught memoir writing, travel writing, writing practice, et al, in the USCB’s OLLI Continuing Ed program, Tech College of the Lowcountry, Pat Conroy Literary Center, Palm Key and Thera Vista Retreat Centers, her downtown Beaufort cottage…and nature writing on a sandbar in the Beaufort River, her favorite classroom so far!

We’re thrilled to welcome Emily Scott back to The Shed for our first Encaustic Workshop — a special afternoon of art, wine, and creative discovery inside the gallery.

Her layered approach—rich with wax, pigment, texture, and instinct—creates surfaces that feel both ancient and immediate. In this intimate class setting, she invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and explore what lies beneath the surface — of the material, the process, and yourself.
Guests will learn the fundamentals of working safely with wax and heat while creating their own small-format encaustic artwork. Throughout the evening, curated wine pairings will complement the creative process, making this a relaxed and memorable night in Port Royal.
No prior art experience is necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
This workshop continues the creative momentum sparked by our recent Blacksmith Workshop and is part of an expanding lineup of monthly classes and hands-on experiences at The Shed, presented by Windhorse in collaboration with Perrin Woodworking.
What’s Included• All encaustic materials and tools• Step-by-step guided instruction• One finished encaustic artwork to take home• Curated wine pairings during class• An intimate gallery setting with limited seating
Class Details• Duration: 2 hours• Location: Windhorse Gallery at The Shed, Port Royal, SC• Level: Beginner (no experience required)• Registration: Advance sign-up required
Space is limited to ensure personal guidance and a safe, hands-on experience.
Whether you’re a collector, a creative, or simply looking for a unique evening out, this encaustic + wine workshop offers a beautiful introduction to one of the oldest and most captivating painting techniques in art history.
Step into Emily’s luminous world of color, texture, and emotion. Raw. Real. Beautifully layered.

Historic Beaufort Foundation Spring Architects' Tour
2026-03-21 10:00 - 16:00 | Historic Beaufort Foundation, Historic Beaufort Foundation
Five distinctive homes in Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District, on Dataw Island and on St. Helena Island will open to the public to showcase the best in innovative, contemporary architecture in Historic Beaufort Foundation’s annual Spring Architects’ Tour March 21.
The tour is from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., rain or shine. Tickets are $70 per person for HBF members and $75 per person for non-members; tickets are available online at www.historicbeaufort.org.
The Spring Architects’ Tour supports HBF’s mission to preserve and protect Beaufort’s historic and architectural heritage. The event is the Lowcountry’s only tour presenting the rare opportunity to peek inside private homes as architects, builders, designers and owners share their expertise.
“We appreciate the homeowners’ willingness to share their properties as part of our Spring Architects’ Tour and in support of Historic Beaufort Foundation,” said HBF Executive Director Lise Sundrla. “Not only do guests get to look inside the homes, but the architects, builders and interior designers will talk about the choices made to create these exceptional homes.”
This year’s tour features homes designed by three of Beaufort’s acclaimed architectural firms –Frederick & Frederick Architects, Hefner Residential Architecture, and Montgomery Architecture & Planning.
“From Historic Beaufort Foundation’s perspective, this is always a great way to invite the community in to see some amazing home designs in the Lowcountry,” said Rob Montgomery, HBF chair.
“It is a nice event that supports HBF and its mission, and speaking on behalf of the Board of Trustees, we are most appreciative of the homeowners who open their homes to the tour. Speaking as an architect included on this year’s tour, I’m proud to share our work and I look forward to explaining some of the choices we made and challenges we faced in our design,” he said.
This is primarily a self-driven tour. Golf carts and/or trolley service will be available in certain locations. Also, as a part of the day’s event this year, the Dataw Historic Foundation will provide tours of their History Museum and Learning Center and the Sams Plantation Ruins.
“We appreciate our partnership with Dataw Island and the Dataw Historic Foundation,” Sundrla said. “The Sams Plantation ruins include outstanding examples of tabby construction dating back to the late 1700s.” The ruins were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
