Another room was an art gallery that was from local artists. A third room was a gift shop that had items by the local artists for sale. Also some jewelry that is on sale that was nice. The gals working were also two of the artists that have contributed to the store and the community. This was the best part of my visit to the town. I really enjoyed walking thru.

What I really love about this store is the producers of the items are artists and they are not mass producers of cheaply made goods that you can find almost anywhere in some chain store. I appreciate shopping locally and supporting artists who are creating one-of-a-kind (or thereabouts) goods or are creating things that are beautiful and functional. The shop is very cute. Nicely decorated and not stuffed to the gills so you cannot move around. The store keepers are knowledgeable on the artists and/or their crafts for sale and very pleasant to chat with. The prices are good for the value of the items being sold. That being said there are lots of things I would love to purchase but my personal finances are such that I need to be careful about what I can and cannot afford, but the store does sell items that vary in price. So from moderate to expensive items depending on the material used and the time taken in making the item. I think it is very fair since I live with an artist and can tell how long it takes to design and make certain art pieces. I always visit Sharpiro's when I come to town and really appreciate having them as one of the few places that I enjoy spending my time and money shopping at. Well worth the visit!!!

This is a diamond in the rough. Visit it and see. This is…read morelocated just north of the intersection of 17 and 255. It is an old restored school building that has been converted into a museum. There is plenty of parking in front of the school. What a great display and gorgeous building. Much of the entrance has large glass windows allowing a lot of light into the building. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a short 10-minute Smithsonian film with many of the local artisans featured that describes the local methods that were used to make Appalachian pottery. The building houses lots of displays showing pottery workshops, a kiln model, and pottery uses in past areas. There is a large set of displays of pottery from various artists and timeframes. It is my understanding that many of the pieces in the "workshop" displays are real artwork and not re-creations with makes it all the more fascinating to look at. As a bonus, the building is adjacent to (and connected to) another set of gift shops and museums. You can also visit other buildings on the site. The entire visit was wonderful and well worth visiting. You could spend a fair amount of time as there is a lot of information on display here that tells the true story of pottery that was created and grew out of this area.
