Visit Historic Dillsboro YESTERDAY'S VILLAGE
...TODAY

A woman quilting.Dillsboro’s old-fashioned charm and gracious hospitality has made it popular with a growing number of artisans and craftspeople who now make it their home.
      Many of Dillsboro's shops and galleries feature local artisans. And some of those artisans have Dillsboro studio-galleries where you can talk with the artisans as they work.
      At the edge of town, a small group of artisans are beginning to use landfill methane gas — a local source of green energy — to fuel greenhouses, blacksmith forges, glass-blowers' ovens and potters kilns.

      Potters comprise a large segment of Dillsboro's artisan community; and each November celebrate the ceramic arts with the Western North Carolina Pottery Festival on the streets of Dillsboro. 

 

COUNTRY TRADITIONS
We are now housed in a cozy little shop that has rough cut wood walls. This new space gives us more room for wine tastings and food pairings as the “parlor” area is more open. This summer, we will have boards for the bean bag game “Cornhole” for free play and at certain times we will host tournaments. Every Saturday evening starting at 5 pm you can stop in and taste something I made from the products we sell along with wine. Check out our website or Facebook page for more details. 102 Webster Street. Starting April 15th we are open 7 days a week Mon-Thurs 10:30 am – 5 pm. Friday and Saturday to 6 pm; Sunday Noon to 4. 828-586-1600.
