The Velvet Elephant Art Center in Mt. Shasta offers a full line of Fine Art Supplies, an ever-changing variety of Fair Trade handcrafts, and a selection of award-winning Board Games, Puzzles, all-ages Coloring Books & Creative Activity Kits. Since 1978, The Art Center has provided art supplies and inspiring gifts to the Mt. Shasta community and Siskiyou County. Today we continue this tradition of providing a comprehensive selection of art and educational supplies, as well as fulfilling special orders for local customers. We also offer a selection of ethically produced handcrafted merchandise from around the world. This includes woodcarvings, metalwork and small sculptures, clothing and accessories, handmade puzzles, toys, housewares and much more. Fair Trade items are not
only beautiful, high-quality and affordable, but they allow the conscious consumer to promote greater economic justice and dignity for artisans and producers in small communities worldwide. When you buy Fair Trade, you give others the opportunity to earn the real value of their labor while supporting community development and environmental sustainability.
