Southern Highland Craft Guild, Biltmore Village

Fun to poke around in but not a lot affordable to us non-artisans. They have a lot of ceramics and jewelry that is gorgeous, don't get me wrong, I just can't afford locally made stuff. No restrooms (you'll have to go to McDonald's across the street) and no photography allowed in the gallery. There's parking out back which is a huge plus.

Good selection of local artists. I have a hard time judging value, it seemed pricy, but if you like the art, get it. It will be a unique reminder of your trip.

This location is currently closed due to flooding from hurricane Helene. They have reopen in the Grove arcade in downtown Asheville.

I loved visiting this gallery, so many unique items. I purchased two necklaces from a local artisan. I definitely would love to visit again in the future.

Unique, interesting, beautiful crafts that will keep you saying "Hey, look at this!" to the friend with whom you're browsing. And it's definitely a "you won't be able to walk out the door without buying something " place. Very cool.

Nice handcrafts located here. Very overpriced. Located in a large building in the Biltmore Village, hard to miss. The place itself is well organized and the people are very sweet and helpful. However, there are not many things here that are truly worth their price. Fine to take a look, but not likely to buy.

I decided to go to Asheboro to complete all of my Christmas shopping. I had 3 stores on my list and Southern Highland was first. I live about 3 hours away and I was very excited. The establishment is really nice and has lovely things. The 3 star is because the staff never said hello. When i entered there was a couple leaving and I was alone in the store. Literally, 2 staff members walked by me and said nothing. I was almost shoulder to shoulder with one... no hello or can I help you. I was curious. I paid close attention to the staff as other ppl started to enter. One by one, the Staff NEVER spoke. Very odd to me. There was 1 older woman looking at a vase and a staff member walked up & took an item that was in front of the older woman but never asked her if she needed help. There was a pair of earrings i wanted to buy in the glass display to the left as u enter, 6 of the Christmas glass ornaments, 2 origami animals on the back wall and this really unique hand painted glass piece....but i changed my mind. I was so disappointed. I was raised to never spend your $ in an establishment if your not acknowledged. I will visit again (next year) to see how my experience will be...hopefully im acknowledged and i can get those earrings 😊

It's a really cool place to visit and look around. They have artists working live in the guild. I really enjoyed meeting the artists and wandering around their wears. It's pretty expensive, but not unreasonable because the crafts are very high quality. Definitely stop by if you are in Asheville.
