But it's much more than an art gallery. Owners Brian and Stephanie also offer community classes and workshops so that people can find their inner artist / glass nerd and let them roam free! I do not think of myself as a very handy or crafty or artistic person, but I recently had the pleasure of taking a workshop to make "scrappy birds:" stained glass birds that are made out of scraps of glass. I went with my partner, who has been making stained glass art for a number of years (I have never done it before). We both had a good time and learned new stuff! Heather, the teacher, was approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. I learned how to wrap the glass in copper foil, use a soldering iron and attach little legs and a tail to my scrappy birds. Heather took something that had seemed difficult and out of reach and made it understandable. Best of all, I got to take home my glass art birds and hang them in the window, where they catch the light and make me smile. This was a great way to while away a cold and snowy winter night! I'm excited to take more classes there. Perhaps I am crafty after all. :)

We were exploring Belfast and this store's sign read, "eclectic goods for the curious soul", and…read morethat drew me in. We were not looking for anything specific, but I found two great gifts and something for myself. One gift was a decanter tag that looked to be hand-stamped. The second was a key ring with a metal tag kind of like a thick spoon handle with "Believe Science" stamped on it. I also found a leather bracelet for myself. There were a lot of interesting items in this story including jewelry, hand towels, cards. It was fun to explore. The owner was very friendly and engaging. I'm glad we stopped in and I was able to bring back a piece of Belfast.

Intellectual Pottery…read more Pottery studio that specializes more in teaching pottery than selling it, but still has a nice selection inside for purchase. The Good: *Great location along the Belfast waterfront *Really nice and unique pieces of pottery inside the store for sale at fairly reasonable prices. *Service was very friendly and welcoming *Pottery supplies for sale *Pottery classes for all skill levels *Booth at the United Farmers Market of Maine on Saturdays The Meh: *Not sure why they're aka "Belfast Clay Studio" on their website and IG The Ugly: *Parking in this area of Belfast can be a bit of a PiTa, but just be patient, and you'll find some. Conclusion: Nice place for all your pottery needs.

She spent plenty of time with me picking out appropriate frames for my two pieces along with mat board. While Alison helped me, Vicky, the owner, was kind enough to assist a couple who was looking to have artwork appraised (even though they don't do appraisals there) I dropped my prints off mid-morning today (Tuesday) and was told they would be ready for pick up by the end of the day Thursday (a very quick turn around) I definitely will be coming back in the near future with more items to be framed!
