Historic Shell Holiday Shop

* When the shop is open

While we closed the doors to our first year-round brick+mortar space in 2015, we knew we had to find some way to continue to represent local artists in downtown Issaquah. That year we were lucky to partner with the Downtown Issaquah Association for the first annual Historic Shell Holiday Shop which now features the curated work of more than 30 local artists and craftspeople each winter.
