If you're interested in crafts, there's a beautiful pottery along Black River called "Krukmakeriet".It's open on Fridays and Saturdays and you will probably buy from the potter herself.She makes everything by hand and uses techniques like stoneware and raku. It's located close to the cathedral just next to Black River. Take a walk from Stora Torget, head north on the left hand side of Elite Stadshotell, cross the road after 100 meters, turn left til you get to the river and then turn right. You will see the "Krukmakeriet" on the right hand side after a couple of hundred meters.You will find everything from small candleholders to pieces of art.
