This is a great store. Artists display their work from all over US. I visit each time I vacation in the area. Love seeing all the different handmade items. From dishes, serving pieces, jewelry, gift items, and food items, etc. Ladies are always friendly and helpful.

So glad I was able to see this. It was started by Walter Anderson’s brother (Walter Anderson museum is a must see) absolutely love all the vivid and rich colors in the pottery and love that it is functional (bake and eat out of it) as well as beautiful.

We were greeted as we entered the museum and were welcomed to tour the place on our own. I found the history and artifacts quite interesting including a piece pipe that was over 300 years old. It also showed the different Ishee homes built in the area. They all relish fitting into nature so it’s almost like living outside... very cool houses! Several local artists had items on display from pottery to paintings and collections. Also, there is a theater which is used frequently for productions which is delightfully “old school.”
