If I could give zero stars I would. Let me preface this by saying that I have never ever written a…read morenegative review of a small business as I am quite aware of the affect it has on a business. With that being said, Denise went out of her way to show us a bad time, and prove some sort of point with my step-daughter. I inquired about doing a private class, as my step-daughter is under the required age of 12. She said she couldn't accommodate that. I understood and signed my mother up for a class. She sent me an email late the night before saying she would make an exception to have me and my daughter attend otherwise she would have to cancel my mothers class, because she was the only one who signed up. I reluctantly accepted as it felt like some sort of ultimatum, but my mom was excited, and I didn't want to upset her. Everything was awful from the moment we walked through the doors. She spoke to us so condescendingly that it was absurd. My daughter picked out a project with sea glass, Denise explained that she needed to keep everything separate. When she was ready to move on to the next phase of the project, Denise came over and looked at my daughter's cups of sea glass noting that one was mixed. She dumps it out and says to me "See this is why we have age restrictions". I spoke to my daughter about it, and she told me that that was a cup that was already filled that she just grabbed. It made me feel like she planted that purposely to prove a point. My step-daughter is extremely artistic and disciplined as I tried to explain to her weeks before when inquiring about the class. What happened next was absolutely unacceptable. I received a call from my husband and needed to leave due to an emergency. I explained that I know my mom would like to stay for the full two hours as stated on her website. We arrived at 1:00 and it was 1:55 when I received the call. She informed me that she only has till 2:30. I said ok whatever I have to go, but my dad would be back to pick her up. To say that my mom felt rushed the entire time is an understatement. She all but threw her on the street basically. Handed her a take home kit and moved my project too soon that one of my seashells fell off. My mom ask that she simply glue it back on, and she replied with yes I do mind!! I don't touch other people's artwork. Well ya just picked it up and moved it to the point that it broke. She made nasty comments throughout about my father as to whether or not he was actually going to pick her up. We are a very nice family just trying to have a nice vacation. I'm not sure what this ladies problem was, but I wish she simply cancelled on us rather than ruining our entire day. Like what kind of person does that???

This store has some cool tchotchkes and functional objects (sun catchers, clocks like animals,…read morereally, really big painted pepper grinders). Sadly, the customer "service" is terrible, in my experience. I saw a cool functional piece (cool, but which I have no use for) and was going to take a picture to show it to a friend who might actually be able to buy/use it. The guy saw me take out my iphone and snapped "no pictures! The artists want you to BUY their work, not photograph it." I think it's questionable to have a "no photos" policy when really, someone might want to consult a spouse (the thing I was looking at was about $400) or suggest a purchase for a friend but if that's the policy, put up a sign and don't be a jerk about it. On the way out he added "this is an art gallery, not a gift shop." Lovely.

I really don't know how they manage to stay in business. I have never been greeted or welcomed into…read morethe store. The disdain and disregard this shop has for its clients is shocking. When our out of town guest "do" Main Street we always used to tell them to avoid the shop but now we tell them to think of it as a theatre experience. Last time I was there I bought a small do hickey for wine and said, at the counter, " this should be very helpful . I'm so glad to have it" the man behind the counter did not say a word. Did not nod. Did not smile...in fact he reached for the phone, dialed and handed me my purchase...no bag or anything...and started his phone conversation. Do you know how much energy it takes to be that ugly to a customer! Please visit the shop if you want to study rude behavior.

Over the years, we have bought pieces here because the young kids became teens and we took their tastes into consideration for major pieces. So many galleries are dismissive when they see someone who they believe isn't a buyer. But families are good customers. Not surprised they have stayed in biz.
