Just a few words of introduction about Raymond Clark and the owner. 
 

The gallery opened in September 1997 and offers contemporary craft from over 100 American artisans working in nearly every medium. Our focus is functional art, art that can tell time, adorn your body or measure your coffee. Our artists stretch from coast to coast but also include a few local artists. Among the local artists we represent are Tony Waters, who paints and sculpts; fine artist Sally Jacobs; sculptor Jeff Kopish; bead artist Melissa Earley; and potter Kathy Hawkins. We select our pieces always considering form, function, and value.

RAYMOND CLARK is located in an area of historic King Street that has been a shopping district for generations. We moved our store to 307 King Street in October 2002. In doing so we gained space to promote more artists and landed right in the middle of the busy part of King. We are now surrounded by shops and restaurants and are being discovered by more people than ever.

RAYMOND CLARK has been successful in Charleston for many reasons. We have found that there is a large population here of people who want more contemporary, non-traditional items. We are different from most stores in that almost everything is hand-made by artists in America. We keep our store fresh by always introducing new artists.

Thank you for visiting our gallery. Remember, if you are interested in something that you saw in the store that wasn’t on our web site we are always happy to take pictures and e-mail them to you.
