Wendell August Forge is a prime example of how craftsmanship is still alive and well in metalworking. I love visiting this store, which also serves as a working factory for the pieces sold in the showrooms. You can choose from many handcrafted pieces, each with a distinguishing maker's mark of one of the one-site artisans. Products range from coasters and plates to jewelry, office products, and ornaments.
This a great place to take your entire family. The kids will enjoy the tour of the factory, and you can stock up on Christmas presents for next year! They have a large parking lot, but be warned that WAF is quite popular with tour groups.
