So much better than going home with a t-shirt! I found a piece of pottery with Hawaiian flowers painted and textured on it by a local potter on the island. I am going to add to my collection. The painted silks were absolutely stunning. The woman working packed my price in a bubble envelope (yes recycling!) and was very kind. I'd recommend stopping--it's like an art museum and gift shop combined!

I purchased a few cards here with lovely paintings on them to give as gifts, and some locally made soap. The saleswoman was kind and friendly. It's definitely a great place for locally made gifts.

Definitely stop by Kohala Artists' Cooperative; it's just off the road, but you might miss it if…read moreyou're not looking. Inside, you'll find an eclectic collection of art from local artists. Some of the woodworkings and glass art are spectacular! There are loads of other items as well, each one unique and hand made. When we arrived, there was a glass-blowing workshop going on outside the cooperative, where a man was teaching a group of people how to make glass art, by melting the glass on a rod in the big hot oven, then blowing into the hollow tube to shape the glass, and fill it with air. This would be a fantastic way to spend a few hours, if you're creative and don't mind the heat of the oven. They'll even ship your finished work of art to you if you're not around, in the day or so after it dries and cools.

This is a cute co-op featuring artwork from 20+ local artists, from photography to ceramics. If you…read morehave the time, I recommend signing up ahead for a glass-blowing class. The skilled glassblowers, Matthew and Carolyn will guide you through the process of making your own custom glass object. This is an excellent group activity as you watch and encourage each other as you make your objects in turn. A unique experience to say the least, and your final reward is a keepsake to commemorate the experience for years to come. This was the highlight of my last Big Island trip.

We were on our way from Kona to Hilo via Hapuna beach and a couple of scenic lookouts when we stumbled across this shop. Right across the street from one of the King Kamehameha statues, and next to King's View Cafe... Along with a large selection of higher end locally made products this shop also has t-shirts and inexpensive jewelry too. If you are in the area this is a must stop shopping spot! Spend a few minutes with the friendly staff! And as long as you're here you might as well go next door to King's View and grab a plate...!

There were surfboards, metal items and of course beautiful pictures. The art was on the high side but it was nice. This place is well curated.

This is the gallery you should buy from, hands down. I bought my second Walfrido original (on koa…read morewood). For that kind of money you want to be sure you can trust the gallery. You can 100% trust Victoria and her boss Mark. The reason I prefer this gallery over others is because the consultants. For example, Victoria literally picked out Several pieces that I fell in love with. No other gallery (Gupton and/or Gensis) is that invested in their clients to know EXACTLY what a client might like. She was spot on with what I was looking for and I cannot say enough good things. I trust Victoria and Mark with my life. They will work tirelessly to get you want you want, and then to be happy with those choices. Lastly, Oceanfront Gallery is NEVER pushy. You never feel anyone hovering over you like at other galleries (listed above). They are interested in getting you what you want. Please check out Oceanfront and ask for Victoria. She will not let you down.
