This place is amazing! While in Pagosa Springs I was looking for an afternoon event for my nephew…read moreand I and we found this hidden gem. We took the pottery making class. It entails a "teaching and demonstration" portion followed by making your own pottery pieces, with assistance. There are other options available such as painting pre- made pottery, but the pottery making class was great. The staff is helpful and friendly and it made for a great afternoon. At the minimum, stop in and look at the art gallery ~ it is truly impressive.

After lunch a few Sunday's ago, I wandered around the Pagosa Springs town site in search of…read moresomething that was open. The Wild Spirit Gallery was an interesting option and I spend a good amount of time wandering around their spacious, handsome, and diverse offerings. That includes original paintings and etchings, bronze sculpture, jewelery, woods, and various other stuff. Store staff pretty much left me along, although I knew I could quickly count on help if I needed it. Only a few items resonated with me, and the ones that did wouldn't fit in my suitcase. But if I pass this way again, I'll make sure to stop by.

There is even a booth to support the local school distract to help students make a little extra money selling their artwork. The artwork is beautiful. I ended up buying three pieces and plan on buying more in the future even after I leave town. Very clean, very professional, very unique.

This company is extremely sketchy. The "owner" doesn't seem to know what their own employees are…read morediscussing in emails, then tells me not to mention a supposed "deal" to the shop workers. Huge red flag. They sent me the wrong size squash blossom holder and then tried to gaslight me by claiming it was what I ordered--despite clear messages back and forth before shipment stating I have a HUGE squash and that the smaller case would not work. I returned the item unused, with the tag still attached, and was then accused of damaging it. That's impossible--I never used it. They claim to be a "small company," yet there are so many people involved that no one seems to know who is doing what or what's being sent to customers. I'm happy to share the full message thread with anyone who wants to see the receipts.

We were visiting Pagosa Springs on vacation and visiting family as well. We decided to kill time by…read morevisiting this wildlife sanctuary. Very reasonably priced and our admission gets us in and out of the park on the same day. I would recommend early morning or later afternoon when they are fed because we came a little too late in the morning and almost missed all the wildlife activity as they hunker down during the heat of the day. We did see the grizzly bear and the wolves, and for us it was worth it. We intended to come back around 2:45 for feeding and the guided tour, but we didn't make it. The staff were friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this wildlife sanctuary and support those that cannot be reintroduced to the wild for one reason or another.

Maybe it's the old barn wood or the whimsical strips of bottle caps, but something just sucks you in to at least take a look. Offerings within this unique and handsome multilevel gallery run from fun to functional and everything in between. You'll find household items such as baskets, lamps, mirrors, furniture, kitchen items, wall art, and much more. I also like the wood accents, the practical displays, and offerings that tempt, but don't overwhelm you. The Old Stones Furniture especially impresses. If and when I come back, I'll make sure that I have more than a suitcase as I head out of town.
