There is a gem of a find for shoppers in the region. The Pocahontas County Artisans Coop has not only some beautiful pieces but they are marked at incredibly reasonable low prices. I was with a motor coach tour awhile back and we stopped at the Co-op.

The Pocahontas Arts Council offers ceramic and painting classes to the general public.  Check out their Web site to see when the next class is.  http://www.pocahontasarts.org/
