I went there on Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised by this little spot! I loved the art work and jewelry pieces and Mrs. Smith was so helpful! My favorites were the animal paintings from David Smith and the very vibrant mermaid and sea life paintings by Theresa Franke! Some absolute talent. I can’t wait to go back! I bought this print to remind me of my time in St Pete Beach, it also reminds me of a very amateur photo I took the previous day on the beach of the same type of bird. I love looking at it❤️❤️❤️

I took a class on making a beachy charcuterie board and it was not well organized. The teacher let us know we were her guinea pigs and the completed boards showed just that. It was a waist of 67.00! Not enough heat guns for everyone, she forgot material that was needed, couldn't see her demo of the process as her work station was out of view, no written instructions were provided and not enough epoxy for the large boards. Unfortunately the class wasn't much fun because she appeared nervous and kept making excuses for her short comings. She left the epoxy in her car when it was temperature sensitive and she couldn't believe she left pigment at home she said must have drank to much wine. I didn't pay 67.00 for excuses and a lame looking beachy board. Never Again:(
A wonderful selection of local artisans work to look over. We really liked the painted palm seed shells, dichroic glass jewelry and a resin cast, beach themed picture. The rest room was well kept and did not smell. On a very hot August day, it was nice and cool inside. Just steps from the Don Cesar.

Where local art thrives and creativity comes to life in St. Petersburg.
