Be it testifying in the truth of the Word of God and living a life that exemplifies the beauty of something handmade from the earth, our goal at Coopers Creek Pottery is to bring glory to our Father.

Warm fuzzy alpaca combined with cool hard glass! Have you heard of slow food? Well this is slow art. We breed, raise and shear our own alpacas. The fiber is then hand dyed and felted to create unique wearable art. Most pieces are accented with hand sculpted glass beads made right here in our studio. Nuno felting is our specialty. Each piece starts with our hand dyed silk and yarns.

Arthur Millican Jr. is a former Disney artisan now relocated to the small community of Blairsville, in the beautiful North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. His working experiences include years at Disney as an artist and model maker, and later consulting and design services for Dollywood, Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch and many other commercial parks and real estate developments world-wide. His passion is designing and producing whimsical and enchanting fairy houses, fairy doors and related items. From his new 2,500 sq. ft. woodworking studio, he creates hand crank toys called Automatons and captivating fairy houses from birdhouses to large garden shed or children’s playroom sizes. No two pieces are the same; Art gleans materials from festivals, resale shops garage sales and the like, then uses this material in the design. A bottle cap make make a hat for a gremlin or other figurine, a large old teapot just might turn into a fairy house, complete with front door, porch, windows and whatever else Art’s imagination can come up with.  

Sunrise Grocery is a little country market with something for everyone! First open for business in this picturesque setting in the early 1920’s, we are one of the oldest businesses in Union County — and we can sure tell some stories about our colorful past! Our customers come roaring up on the shiniest of Harley’s and some really hardy ones pedal their way to Sunrise Grocery on mountain bikes. We have gassed up the most beloved battered pickup trucks and the fanciest Mercedes sedans. Some folks have been coming here all their lives, and some of our visitors will only pass this way once. Whether young or young-at-heart, there is something for everyone at Sunrise Grocery!
