Mountain Nest Gallery

An owner-run Black Mountain gallery that represents more than a hundred regional artists: glass, pottery, jewelry, and steel sculpture. It's a real cut above the usual small-town gift shop, and you can tell the owner knows every maker on the wall.

Lexington Glassworks Locals’ pick
