Welcome to Simply Irresistible, a wonderful gallery nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Tryon, North Carolina. Showcasing regional artists and featuring high quality crafts and fine art, including jewelry, sculpture, paintings, folk art, metal work, turned wooden bowls, art glass, pottery, hand painted tiles, forged iron work, photography, and wearable art, Simply Irresistible offers a spectrum of choices, from funky to functional. If you’re looking for that special one-of-a-kind item you need look no further.

Located on a hill overlooking downtown Tryon, the gallery complex is well worth a visit. Artists in their own right, owners Kathleen Carson and Bill Crowell built the gallery in 2002, to exhibit their own work and that of approximately 40 other local artists. Before browsing the gallery, take time to watch Bill and the other blacksmiths at work in the Saluda Forge, and chat with Kathleen while she works on custom tile pieces or unloads the kiln in her studio, Hand Painted Tiles.
