Announcing “Jazz it up”, presented by the artists of Charleston Crafts Gallery

Open House, April 5, 2024, 5-8pm, in conjunction with the Charleston gallery Association Art Walk evening celebrations.

Swing into Charleston Crafts Gallery as we honor the Charleston Jazz Festival (April 18-24). Celebrate art inspired by music featuring five artists in our cooperative gallery. The work of Valerie Lamott, Laurie Prophater, Luann Rosenzweig, Susan Livingston and Tanya Craig will be spotlighted this month. Jazz up your style with art to wear, jewelry and home décor. You do not even need to fly yourself to the moon, just tap on down to 140 East Bay St. in downtown Charleston SC.

Valerie Lamott employs traditional metalsmithing techniques to craft jewelry with a variety of themes. For this month’s show, she is featuring a collection of musical offerings.

Laurie Prophater, a jeweler working in Polymer clay, offers jewelry with vibrant and intricate designs to delight the wearer.

LuAnn Rosenzweig creates gorgeous one-of-kind art to wear garments which are sure to jazz up the wardrobe. Often inspired by Asian themes, her jackets and vests are truly bespoke.

Susan Livingston is a fiber artist who creates fiber collages using hand dyed, hand stitched and found objects with elements on her fabrics. This month, she was inspired by the theme of the song “Fly me to the Moon”, her father’s favorite jazz song.

Tanya Craig creates whimsical, and exciting works in Fused glass. She creates glass plates and trays, as well as mobiles for the home. Her vibrant creations will jazz up your home décor!
