Gift Shop
Beaumont Inn, Harrodsburg, Kentucky
I (Helen) have made a valiant effort to buy local, Kentucky crafts in the last few years. We are fortunate to have many talented artisans in our state. During March the Kentucky Arts Council produces Kentucky Crafted: the Market in Louisville. The Market allows buyers like me to go see, enjoy and order crafts from all over the state. To be able to attend this show, a craftsman must be juried, or judged, by the Council. When they are approved they are allowed to use the Kentucky Crafted symbol on their products. I found Raku horsehair pottery from Columbia and Philpot Kentucky; cookware from Berea, delightful dog, cat and horse prints from Versailles, and beautiful wooden boxes from Kettle, Kentucky. Now I may not know where all these towns are but I do feel fortunate to have the artwork in our shop.
All artists do not go to the show so many local artists are also represented in the shop—jewelry, pottery, weaving, oil paintings, water colors, photography prints. I hope when you come you will enjoy seeing works of art by our Kentucky craftsman. Get updates on the latest arrivals from Helen on Facebook!
