Mountain Nest Gallery
More than a hundred regional artists in one owner-run Black Mountain gallery, glass, pottery, jewelry, and steel sculpture. A real cut above the usual small-town gift shop. You can tell the owner knows every maker on the wall.

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.
