You first step back in time to an old 1800's home on a beautifully wooded lot. Paul's wife greeted us and took us piece by piece around the gallery describing the history of the pieces and the techniques used to create them. The glow she had while describing her husbands trade was amazing in and of itself. My wife and I settled on a couple of great numbered prints that captures some of the characters of the Appalachian area. Her husband, Paul comes in and she convinces him to sign our pieces. The place, the art, the stories and hospitality were all amazing. This is definitely a MUST do on your next trip to Gatlinburg!

I had the pleasure of discovering the Gatlinburg Art's Community on this trip and signed up for a painting class with Jann. I've been a bit intimidated by watercolor (and painting in general) but she explained the supplies, the process and techniques we'd use and I was ready to proceed. Jann and I had an identical set up of materials in front of us and as she demonstrated technique I followed, creating the most lovely painting. Jann is a skilled teacher and I loved every minute spent learning from her and getting to know her. When I left I had a matted painting which I will frame and proudly display, plus a comprehensive packet of materials and resources that will guide me in purchasing what I'll need to continue painting when I return home. It was truly a transformative experience and I recommend highly taking this class. Jann is amazing !

My husband and I had the best experience in making pottery on our trip to Gatlinburg and Fowler's Clay Works.Mike was very patient with me and helped us to make the perfect additions to our collection. He really made it a fun class by allowing us to make mistakes and learn along the way. I highly recommend signing up for a class and stopping in to check out the beautiful, artistic pieces they create. I will definitely be back.

Reviewed By jennifercU4919NA

We stop in here every time we are in Gatlinburg, sometimes twice. They have a large selection of handmade crafts, and the ladies who run Cliff Dwellers are both knowledgeable of the artists and their crafts as well as artists themselves. We always seem to find a unique item or 2 (of 3!) here.

It wasn’t the nicest car museum you can go to around here but worth it for the price. I’m a huge car enthusiast and love the fast and furious movies, seeing Paul walkers GTR and Eclipse made my whole trip I was ecstatic to see those cars so close.

Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum

The collection consists of more than 20,000 Salt and Pepper Shakers from all over the world. A labor of love of collecting for more than 30 years. See the amazing variety of animals, vegetables, people and other colorful shapes, and the creativity of all the artists that created them. Great fun for all ages!

Reviewed By 243georgeg - Boca Raton, United States

What a nice way to see a collection like none ever to be duplicated, 30,000 diffferent styled salt and pepper shakers! I was surprised how artistic they can be and wanted most of them for my home! Extremely resonable entry fee, probably the lowes in Gatlinburg and a fun time, especially if it is hot outside or rainy. The gift shop will satisfy your needs for a set or two, great gifts as well! Try it, worth an hour of your time. They allowed our 75 lb service dog and all of us had fun!
