Handmade stoneware from a REAL working studio in Arden, and the demonstrations are free. Call ahead so someone's there to let you in. Watching the wheel in person is worth it.

Lexington Glassworks Locals’ pick
Watch glass get blown right in front of you, furnace roar and all. It's a working studio on the South Slope, and you can grab a beer and pull up a bench while they work.
