Wanderlust Ceramics is the business of Craig Crawford, a ceramics artist who specializes in decorative vessels and garden ornaments. Inspired by nature and antiquity, Crawford combines imagery of bones, birds and bees on forms that are reminiscent of traditional French china. The studio is located in a 19th-century mill building at the Harbor Hill Complex, and is open by appointment.
The New England Wireless and Steam Museum is a gem tucked into a corner of East Greenwich that is better known for residential neighborhoods than for a significant collection of steam engines and the world's oldest surviving wireless station.
Nevertheless, the museum, which is completely supported by an enthusiastic team of volunteers, offers living history to any and all who make arrangements to visit. Once a year, usually the first Saturday in October, the museum opens for a "Yankee Steam Up." On that day, hundreds of people come to see the engines in action and many bring along their own steam engines to display.
Among the pieces on display is the last surviving George H. Corliss steam engine, built in Providence. The driving force behind the museum remains its president, Robert W. Merriam.
B & H Framing and Greenwich Galleries has been family owned and operated for more than 40 years. It prides itself on giving customers personal care and attention, and it lacks the big business feel of more corporate locations. B & H uses only museum-quality conservation pieces to ensure pictures and memories last for generations. The gallery features local Rhode Island artists.
At the Ratigan Art Studio, the tour begins with the works of art generously displayed in the sunken courtyard and on exterior walls of 58 Main Street. Enter the gallery and you'll see paintings and artifacts created in different mediums by Robert Ratigan and a group of guest artists. You will be encouraged to try on a pair of 3D glasses to experience the 3D mural room to best advantage.
Classes are given by Ratigan and visiting artists. When Ratigan's not busy running his gallery, he paints the town, literally, with his creative murals.
