But, it was packed with unique, locally made art goods (95% Asheville artists, 5% Tennessee/Kentucky they say) that were awesome AND affordable. Pottery, wood carvings, textiles, Christmas ornaments, cookware, glass art, paintings, and more. I liked most everything I saw, and again, it was artistry that wouldn't break your bank. The customer service was so friendly, and the nice lady working really wanted to connect with us, and also tell more about the artists who made some of the different art. Informative, funny, kind - she was great. I would recommend this to EVERY Asheville tourist looking for something unique to take home, rather than junky trinkets made in China that you can find in every American gift shop.

I understand that they're different artists and vendors, but you should've have signs up throughout the entire store and across all artists creations to get you to buy more under the guise there's a sale. Lastly, they pass the credit card fee onto the customer, but don't offer an atm when they require cash. It is absurd to me that I am expected to pay to pay. This should be a cost of business and not an additional fee to shop at your business. Will not be back.

Additionally they were great instructors- encouraging us along the way, and just making us all feel comfortable. Can't recommend them enough!

This is a large space filled with tons of locally made artwork. There is everything from jewelry, scarves, paintings, photography and most any other art/crafts you can imagine. This is a great space to decorate your home, to buy gifts, or just to look around for creative inspiration. When I visited, two of the artists were there to greet me and tell me about the gallery. They were very friendly and helpful yet allowed me to stroll through the space alone. I appreciated my experience here and hope to be back soon!

They have a nice balance of leaving you be while also making sure they are available to help. You select a piece to paint and then grab some pint. They have a very organized set up- this place has been here forever. I even remember going 8+ years ago. You can see all the colors after they're done so you get a good idea. The supplies are organized and plentiful. After you paint your piece (make sure to do many coats) you leave it on the table and they fire it for you and let you know when to come back and pick it up. I really like that they have great spaces for everyone to sit and work. The music is good, there's food and coffee nearby and the tables are comfortable. Nobody rushes you. What a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. They also have other art I've never done but it looks awesome (ex-glasswork). And a kids pottery summer camp (cute). Oh and be sure to use your go local card- it's a great discount.
