I purchased these 2 beautiful mugs that have this lovely lilac color that you normally don't see in ceramics because they are fired a different way than most ceramics are. Lee was so knowledgeable and loved talking to us about his glazing/firing process. He's been in Newport for 30 years & continues to make beautiful work from mugs to bowls to vases to art pieces! He was such a sweetie go check out this lovely little store! Shop local!

First of all, after seeing the reviews here........a person mentioning $136 for framing a 20 by 30…read moreitem as expensive hasn't had anything framed before. Even if you did choose to go to Michaels , it would be at least that and your piece would not have been the quality of this artist. With that said: I am not a wealthy person a all, but would NEVER have anything framed by anyone else. The proprietress is and artist and an expert in her work. I have been bringing my things to her for years and she never disappoints. Whether it is her ability to apply marble papers on the mat, wooden inserts, her ideas are phenomenal. I cannot praise her more. My items are ones I will have for life....... and the time she takes to make the piece the best it can be is unreal..sometimes it is better to make an appointment with her as she will take the time it needs.... If there were more stars I could leave, I would! Patti Burlingame Wakefield, RI

On Sunday, Sept 27, I was visiting Newport for the weekend with my family…read more We were shopping on Thames Street and happened upon a quaint little shop with very eclectic artisan crafts. We spoke with the owner who was very nice, friendly, and engaging. I ended up purchasing a hand carved and painted wooden wall decoration made by "Joe." I enjoyed shopping there. I'm glad I stopped in and got a chance to purchase a unique souvenir and meet a very pleasant lady.

The worst, most dishonest experience we ever had. We purchased an antique frame with a painting,…read moreand the frame needed a little bit of repair. The person who said she owned the place, Deborah, offered to repair the frame so long as we left the purchase price. We gave her $200, and she said she would call us in a week or two to let us know we could pick it up. Not getting a call, we called her, and she said she had been sick or something and would get right to it. We called again a couple of weeks later, and we got the same story. Then, we called again and she told us that she "forgot" we had purchased it and sold it to someone else (imagine that !!), and that she would immediately refund us. We awaited the check, and it turned out to be the proverbial "check is in the mail." We called (when she picked up it was "oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, I'll get it out right away"), we wrote, we even had a lawyer send her a certified letter. Bottom line - we got stiffed, never saw a penny in refund. Run for your life from this "business." We wonder how many others she sold it to . . . at least now we know what "friendly gifts" really means. Gifts from us!
