Society for Contemporary Craft
March 21, 2010
Stopped in after breakfast in the Strip District. I'd seen some of the exhibits through friends' facebook links online, but had never been here before so didn't make the connection until I was standing in front of the Charms exhibit! Love it. Friendly, helpful staff, great artists. I'll be back for sure.

I looked ahead on the website to see the store hours to make sure they were open, but when I stopped in on a Monday there was no one in sight. I spoke to someone in the office (a younger woman with dark hair) but she seemed a little agitated with helping me. I have been coming here for years and usually purchase gifts over $100 so I expect good customer service. The store looked good, but when I asked another employee that was passing by (a heavier blonde woman) a question about the art, she did not know the artist's name or anything about it.You would think a place with such high priced items would have knowledgeable staff. I was pleased to see some new lower ($50) priced items, though.

As an artist, I've been working with the people at SCC for about a year now. They're on the ball, friendly, passionate and smart. They host two amazing grants each year (the LEAP award and the Raphael Prize), put on top notch shows, and do their part to educate Pittsburgh's public on the craft world.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
participating in two excellent shows there, and selling a piece in their gallery.

Awesome! As soon as I walked in I was greeted, the person in the store told me all about the organization. I had no idea they offered classes! The work in the gallery was amazing, and I wanted everything in the store. Great place, I highly recommend going!
