6 Best Places to Shop in Maui, Hawaii

One of the island's only artist cooperatives, Maui Crafts Guild is crammed with treasures. Resident artists produce lead-glazed pottery, basketry, glass and feather art, photography, and woodwork pieces. One artist even creates gyotaku, the Japanese art of fish rubbing, resulting in stunningly vibrant pieces. The prices are surprisingly low, making this a great place to find gifts and one-of-a-kind items to take home.

This gallery shows pieces by more than 300 local artists, including exquisite woodwork, lovely ceramics, authentic Niihau shell lei, wave metal etchings, and whimsical clay figures. There are also locations in Makawao and at the Shops at Wailea, and all three galleries feature unique Artists in Residence programs that connect the public to artists during monthly "talk story” sessions.
