This historic shop in downtown buys pottery, jewelry, sculpture and paintings directly from Native American artists, so you know the work is authentic and the artists are receiving a fair price for their work. Retail prices are among the best in the state for this level of high-quality art. The staff is very knowledgeable about the artists and work, and are quick to explain the different quality levels available in different price ranges. For instance, cast pottery is separate from hand-coiled pottery, and prices accordingly. You can also see Native American jewelers employed by Skip Maisel working in the shop.
