Handmade in America: blown glass, pottery, jewelry, art to wear, sculpture. Fine craft art emphasizing good value with classic contemporary style. For you home, kitchen or office.
Like a fine craft show open every day, online or on Charlottesville?s Downtown Mall! Vivian represents 170 artists, all American and many local. Emphasis is on useful items in a contemporary style. The collection particularly seeks great value. So you will find rural talent and emerging artists heavily represented among more nationally known names.
Handblown glass, wheel-thrown pottery, turned wood bowls dominate the home side of the store. Unlike other craft galleries, Vivian?s also has a real clothing department. You find specialty designers making everything from Tshirts to formals. Vivian herself still makes a lot of designs in the upstairs studio, some in batik and some just plain fun. Great silver jewelry rounds out the collection.
