I am so happy we went in here. I wasn't sure what to expect - I was thinking more semi-museum, part…read moreinfo center with a few pieces from local artists for sale. 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.

Very cute selection, but they nickel and dime you as much as possible. There's signs up for 20% off…read moreall over the store, but it doesn't specify the vendor, so only at check out do you find out it's not actually a sale. 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.

Ann and Sandy are SO friendly and patient -- and you will talk to both of them throughout the class like they're lifelong friends.

Highly recommend! I highly recommend doing a class with them -- PLUS, you can find their work at various locations around Asheville if you want to buy some pottery.

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

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!
