Many of the artists are working and you can go in and watch them in their studio and ask them about the process. What I enjoyed was that that there were so many styles and mediums. We particularly enjoyed the 3-D sculptures and bought some pottery for a friend. We enjoyed our visit so much that we went back the next day. Admission is free. On the way out, I stepped on the scale -- oops! -- it was unfortunately, all too accurate.

The shop is filled with some of the most beautiful and unique pieces we've ever seen. The owner took the time to walk us through different items and even shared some history, which made everything so much more meaningful and enjoyable. Even if vintage pieces aren't usually your style, I truly can't recommend this place enough. It's an experience in itself, and you'll likely leave not only with something special, but with a new appreciation and understanding of vintage pieces!

Found a very beautiful painting on the website but was a little bit too small (we wanted it in the living room).
