Iowa Artisans Gallery was founded in 1984 by twelve craft artists seeking an outlet for their own work. Five of the original owners continue to oversee the Gallery's operations. They include two potters, Christiane Knorr & Marilyn Davis; a woodworker, Russell Karkowski; a basket maker, Earlene Giglierano; and a jeweler, Don Rinner. About one third of the floor space is devoted to D.J. Rinner Goldsmith, gold and gemstone jewelry made by Don Rinner, run by the artist as a separate business. For the first six years, Iowa Artisans Gallery was located in an old mortuary, a distinctive little house located on the fringes of downtown in Iowa City (see photo.) In 1990, the Gallery moved to 117 E. College Street, a historic storefront with interior tin ceilings and exterior tiling on the Pedestrian Mall in downtown Iowa City. Most recently, in the summer of 2003, the Gallery has taken up residence in the historic Paul-Helen Building at 207 E. Washington Street, still in the heart of the Old Capitol Cultural District in downtown Iowa City. Login or Sign-Up to review this business
