“For the Birds”

Expand

Charleston Crafts Gallery is sharing the spirit of this year’s Southeastern Wildlife Exposition by hosting a group show called “For the Birds”. Feathered friends created in a plethora of medium are featured for the month of February. The gallery is hosting an open house Friday, February 2nd from 5 - 8pm. Meet many of the gallery’s artists at the open house, during the monthly Art Walk.  

A variety of talented craftsmen are inspired by birds in the wild. Each artist takes on a unique perspective of different aspects of the lives of birds. Nearly half of the gallery’s 25 members are showing off their understanding and connections to the natural world surrounding them as they are portrayed in jewelry, mixed media, fiber, glass, paper, wood, and ceramics. Outdoor enthusiasts and bird lovers of all ages will enjoy the creativity these artists have poured into this subject.

Staffed by its knowledgeable and friendly member-artisans, Charleston Crafts Gallery is a dynamic cooperative community of more than two dozen jury-selected artisans. All live in South Carolina, making the Gallery the city’s only exclusively fine craft gallery.
