A lover of sea turtles and a steward of the people, Dolly Paul uses her art to support both animals and people in their path. Using mediums like her favorite – copper for jewelry and home decor, she finds that the energy in copper can be supportive to one’s path. Her goal in working with materials as a visual artist, is to have a low carbon footprint while making works that promote a sense of joy and balance for the owner. When she’s not in her studio creating art for the people from copper sculptures and wind chimes to silver jewelry and paintings, she can be found helping others. She was the organizer of Folly Arts for Autism, a Folly Beach Arts Guild event that raised monies for Surfers Healing, and Hooping for the Sea Turtles, a hula hooping event by Faces Are Fun, that raised money for the Sea Turtle Hospital.

Just last week, Dolly became a certified Shoreline Steward through training with Audubon, and will be passing on her knowledge to locals and visitors this summer. She considers her volunteer work an extension of her mission at Low Country Studios which was established in 2004 and strives to use her background in music, complementary wellness practices, and visual art to benefit others. Check out her art at dollypaul.com or find her smiling face and beautiful artwork at the next festival!

Monthly Spotlight: St. James Gate

Monthly Spotlight: St. James Gate

A “proper” Irish pub was always the vision of Irish owner John Teevan, when he laid eyes on the two story 4,500 square foot West Ashley Avenue space before opening St. James Gate Irish Pub in the Summer of 2015. St. James Gate is a place where you can not only get a “proper” Guinness, but as Folly slows down this time of year, their Fall/Winter menu shines. Featuring a Guinness lamb stew, smoked chicken pot pie and Irish spring rolls, the cooler weather is the perfect backdrop for the rich, hearty Irish favorites. An espresso machine was recently added, and will be used to make Folly’s famous espresso martinis. As the nights fall cooler, the fire in the garden is blazing and it’s the perfect place to congregate with friends while sipping a hot Irish coffee, enjoying a pre-game pint, or a nightcap. The upstairs event space The Green Room is available to rent for holiday parties and other events. Credit for their success over the last two years goes to their hardworking staff, fellow Folly business owners, and Folly locals.

Loggerhead’s adds 20+ craft beer taps, hosts first beer dinner

On Feb. 24 Loggerhead’s Beach Grill hosted their first beer dinner to show off the newly added craft beer taps, which has a heavy emphasis on local beers. The dinner was a collaboration with Freehouse Brewing, recently named the Most Underrated Brewery in South Carolina by Thrillist, and who’s owner, Arthur Lucas named his grapefruit blonde ale after our beach, where he learned to surf. “Folly Pride” is described on the Freehouse website: “Like the beautiful beaches of the Lowcountry, this easy drinking brew keeps you coming again and again.” Thanks for the shout out! If you haven’t sat at the recently renovated Loggerhead’s bar inside, head on over next time you get a hankering for a cold craft brew. Stay tuned for more beer dinners in the Fall.
