Woolworth Walk

Description:

• The best crafts emporium in town lies on the main street in the sprawling premises of what was originally built as -- you guessed it -- a Woolworth's department store from the 1930s. Inside, clustered into a series of side-by-side self-contained boutiques, and scattered over two separate floors, are the carefully displayed works of 175 local artists, each of whose work had to be approved by a local jury. Representative art forms include silversmithing, pottery, leatherware, stained glass, metalwork, bookbindery, and cabinetmaking. Adding to the ambience might be live music from a flute player or guitarist. Open Monday to Thursday 11am to 6pm, Friday and Saturday 11am to 8pm, and Sunday 11am to 6pm.
