Highly recommend this for family fun, probably better for older kids, not little ones. We booked a family glass blowing class with Jeremy. He is a patient, outstanding teacher. We booked a 3 hour class, he gave us a demonstration and then he worked with us on pieces. Very informative, made us feel at ease, safe and offered great suggestions on ways to make our pieces that more special. We were thrilled with the results when we picked up our pieces the next day. Everyone at the studio is very kind and the kids loved petting Whiskey, the studio dog. Now we have some great souvenirs of our trip to Door county including our own Christmas ornaments. Highly recommend and we will book again on our next trip.

Having collected Frykman Christmas figures, it is always fun to see his shop. There are many delightful figures and now there are special carving pieces with wood from the Eagle Tower - beautiful! And in addition, there are many beautiful photos and other art. Well worth the visit to this special gallery.

Really enjoyed our visit(s) to Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Door County, South of Fish Creek. They really expanded their sculpture gardens and my favorite is still always the inside buildings where they added a balcony to a new gallery. So bright and such wonderful art of all types. Great jewelry! Got some treasures each visit as we had to come back the next day. This is really the “art museum” of Door County, where just looking is okay. And everyone is so friendly and helpful. Will come back next year for sure as it’s the highlight of our Door County traditions.

When visiting Ephraim, be sure to take the Ephriam Historical Foundation's tram tour of the 5 museums. John led an interesting, educating, and enlightening tour, explaining all about the first residents of the area and how the town grew. Worth every penny at $5.00 a person. Great way to see Ephraim.

This old barn is the perfect place to display pottery by exceptional artists... All at reasonable prices. Since there's work by multiple artists, there's a wide range of styles and creativity. You're sure to find a piece that grabs your attention. One word of caution... The parking area is small. If you're driving anything larger than a full size pickup, you might want to reconsider pulling in off the road.

The fine art of fiber wall sculptures, mixed media wall hangings and paper vessels by Wendy Carpenter reveal her personal expressionist art style through borderline "abstract-literal" interpretations...Fiber art that captures the emotion and power of objects by abstracting the natural world. Wendy's hand cut and polished Door County geode and jade stonework is a must to see! She has an exquisite jewelry display, along with hand weaved jacket crafted through her mission work in Guatemala with the Mayan weavers of Guatemala.
