Check out Art By Fire - a local glass store selling works made right behind the store. You can watch the glass blowers at work by going into the little mall beside the store and walking to the back. Classes also available if you want to make your own piece! Several art galleries are also on Front St, selling works by local artists. Something for all tastes. Antique stores around the corner on Sunset.
