Charleston Crafts Cooperative Gallery

Creating Craft “Piece by Piece” November 13 to December 10

Guest User

Join us for a reception on Sunday, November 13, from 2 to 5 

Creating patterns or pictures by assembling small pieces is a timeless craft that includes mosaics, stained glass and intarsia. With “Piece by Piece” as our theme this month, we’re highlighting makers who put together tiny pieces of glass, wood and ceramic materials to make beautiful work.

Meet these artisans and see their creations on Sunday afternoon, November 13.

On View through December 10, Tuesday to Sunday from 11-6.

Meet the Artists

At the “Piece by Piece” reception, you’ll have a chance to learn more about the creative process from the makers themselves:

Owl Intarsia by Ron Herzog

Ron Herzog makes his striking pieces using a process known as intarsia, a time-honored technique using interlocking pieces of various wood species for color, grain and texture. Ron especially enjoys portraying birds and wildlife of the Lowcountry.

Whale Tail Mosaic by Sara Powell

Sara Powell crafts gorgeous mosaics that express her love of nature with a wide range of subjects from sea creatures to whimsical barnyard characters. And just like nature, Sara’s imaginative work invites us to recreate the experience of discovering natural wonder.

Abstract Stained Glass by John Schumacher

John Schumacher creates award-winning stained glass pieces that contain hundreds of individual cuts of glass, including many recycled pieces. Naturally, his work is displayed in gallery’s windows, where they sparkle with vivid color and an inspiring range of design styles. 

Segmented Turning by Kenny Teague

Kenny Teague meticulously cuts, assembles, turns and sculpts woods of contrasting color and texture to create his complex and intricate artwork. Nature’s splendor comes to life in Kenny’s superb bowls, decorative items and jewelry. 


While these members are in the spotlight this month, the work of all the gallery’s members is also on display and available for purchase, including jewelry, wood puzzles, encaustic paintings, mixed media collages, apparel and accessories plus functional and decorative objects in wood, ceramic and glass. Plan to stop by – we look forward to seeing you!
