I can't believe I waited so long to come to this location! It is just fantastic. This is not a…read morestore just for artists (although it definitely IS for them, lol). There are so many awesome gadgets and gifts for the artistically inclined and those who are not. If I had more money in my bank account, I would have gone wild buying different gift wrap and wrapping paper and little gadgets for stocking stuffers. So many unique items here for all age ranges, I was seriously impressed! This facility is three stories and they have an electric chair to make it accessible for those who need it which is so amazing. The employees are kind and cool - quick to answer questions or find another person who can if they don't know the answer. My friend tripped down the stairs and spilled his water (I laughed haha... ridiculous) and they were so nice to clean it up and check that he was okay. :)

Artist cooperative galleries rarely get the love and attention they deserve. As a fervent…read moresupporter, I always make a point to seek one out wherever I travel. There is no better place to buy high-quality, locally made mementos, and affordable ones at that! Charleston Crafts is no exception. If I had unlimited funds, I'd clean this place out. Their selection runs the gamut of art forms and medias. Metal, wood, paper, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, glass, it's all here and then some. I spent a good half hour just perusing everything they have to offer. I've never seen a more extensive display of diverse artistry at a cooperative gallery. The Lowcountry is home to a ridiculous number of talented craftspeople. So when you're out and about downtown, don't forget to make a pit stop at Charleston Crafts. What better way to remember your trip to Charleston than with a unique craft or two? They're way cooler than mass-produced keychains and magnets. And if you're a local who has yet to visit, what are you waiting for?! Go support your local artists!

Absolutely loved these chicken stained glass panels in the window.. they definitely drew me in! :-)…read moreNot only were there the normal stained glass panels but also items where you could put candles in to reflect this mottled colorful glass... even a lantern! Such a neat idea that would play on many levels. There's lots of various artists and artisans work on display and for sale. From paintings to pottery and glass work to jewelry... they have it all! Reasonable prices for that special gift for a certain someone. And the staff was very helpful :-) If you already have a piece and are looking for the perfect frame this is definitely your go-to for that.

In addition to more traditional art forms, I highly recommend her beautiful scarves that transform paintings she's done into "wearable art." You can also find mugs, puzzles, and notecards. If you're going stir-crazy during the pandemic, be sure to visit her website for free downloadable coloring pages ... there are images for both adults and youngsters to find inspiration and peaceful activity. Anyone who might be shopping for my birthday should know that the peacock is on my wishlist. Just sayin' ...

The things for sale are a mishmash of old and new, beachy and not, quality and just ok. There isn't a particular style or period... in other words, not a cohesive collection of goods. In addition, there was a large empty area right when you walk in the door. That was odd. It gave me the feeling that the shop wasn't serious about being a lucrative business.

The space is open and comfortable. There are many different crafts to choose from. I decided on coasters. They turned out really well and I love them.

I will be back to make one of the other crafts. I highly recommend!

Two of the girls were working and one immediately came over to help us. She explained how the packages worked, and we decided to paint a little charcuterie board and grab a couple of drinks. We spent about two hours painting, hanging out, and enjoying ourselves. It was the most random and fun adventure that we did not anticipate having. They were very knowledgeable and friendly - we asked a few questions but they mostly let us paint away and helped when needed. Five stars, for sure -- I recommend checking it out for a fun activity!
