Description
A handmade chair shaped by practiced hands. Clay responding to a potter’s touch. The bold interplay of color across a quilt. At their finest, handcrafted objects transcend both material and function, becoming vessels of beauty that carry the unmistakable imprint of human life. Enduring Legacy at the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio honors Ohio’s deep-rooted craft tradition, bringing together artists working in glass, fiber, wood, metal, and clay. Each piece reflects the maker’s choices, instincts, and vision. Drawing from generations of tradition, these artists reimagine the past through a contemporary lens. What once served function now speaks with a distinct artistic voice, revealing the natural beauty of each material. Set within the historic Reese-Peters House, the exhibition celebrates DACO’s 25-year commitment to preserving this legacy while showcasing how today’s artists remain connected to the past through innovative, enduring craft. This exhibit, curated by Betty Talbott and Tracy Rieger, will be on display from May 30th to August 30th, 2026.
