I wish I could rate this place 0 stars. Absolutely unethical shop. Piles of white shark teeth to…read moreharvest these would have likely been extracted from recently killed or living sharks. If I'm wrong please please correct me! Same with the juvenile sharks in jars, and alligator heads. I know tourist want a piece of Florida to bring home but please reconsider shopping at a place like this! Also the Extremely crowed hermit crab enclosure. Bright painted shells are almost always toxic to the crabs, as well as cramped enclosures subjects these animals to extreme stress and it is incredibly cruel. THINK BEFORE YOU SHOP!

Prices are hit or miss depending on what you are buying... for example, some of the shells they sell are not local so they can be expensive... on the other hand, there are a bunch of shirts and towels that are on par with buying at Walmart. All in all, its fun to enter this store, because the selection is so diverse. If you're looking for someone with picky tastes, you're sure to find something suitable for them here!

We stopped in during the St Pete 2nd Saturday Art Walk, which is really a MUST DO event. So many great galleries and shops to see in so many interesting neighborhoods. We parked by this gallery and stopped in on our way to Central Ave. They had pro sports team art by a local artist and some nice Carlton Ward photographs upstairs. He's a National Geographic photographer and has particpated in the missions up through Central Florida to highkight the areas natural features and advocate for conservation. Very friendly and helpful lady working at the gallery. They had a vintage early 70s pinball machine for sale that they let us play. :) All good.

Clothing prices were high for several items, but there were also some sale prices at that time. Don't know if they have the same products or same location. And I didn't see many of the products I liked in the past on their website recently. It's a fun store. I hope they beef up their website with more products because I would shop Tipsy Mermaid online!

My first time visiting here - we came because I saw on social media that they were having a pottery…read moresale. We showed up at 10 am when it was supposed to start, but clearly that was just a suggested time, because some of the artists had not even shown up yet, much less had their table with merchandise ready. The clay center is one of a few local Morean places; there is also the Morean Arts Center, and the Chihuly Collection on Central Ave. in St. Petersburg. We used the time waiting for the outside to be ready to wander around the inside of the clay shop. The building is an old railway station, and very interesting looking, with high ceilings and plenty of space for the makers. Merchandise was for sale on shelves up and down the walls. There were many different items for sale ranging from bowls, mugs, and plates to sculptures, all created by different artists in their own personal styles. We found out later that many of the artists were just bringing their inside work out to tables outside. I love that they have an "artists in residence" program - I saw one of their artists, Tyler Quintin, at a craft show and loved his work, followed him on social media, and then heard about this show. The best part of the day was watching a Raku pottery demonstration. It was amazing! After a second firing, the pottery was coated with a glaze in front of us, and then put in a trashcan with burning newspaper for a final firing. So neat! It looks like they offer a variety of classes, as well as intro-to-clay parties you can host for friends. I will definitely be back.

I have only been here a few times for events that they hold and have always enjoyed coming…read more Browsing the artists' work is really fun and most of the artists are very nice and explain their process and how some of their pottery is made. I've purchased some great things here! Cool looking mugs, planters, plates. Love how unique each piece is. Almost everything inside the building is for sale, and most of it is decently priced. They have rotating art exhibits right when you enter to the right. Really cool pieces to look at. There was also a unique spoon exhibit towards the center of the building the last time I was there. It's like going to a museum for free lol. You just wander the aisles and look at the beautiful clay work. We usually end up spending about 1-2 hours here. And plan to come back at least once a month as long as they keep holding their events. :)
