The large sepia tones photos caught our attention, so we stopped in. Think Ansel Adams large scale, detailed prints from the national parks. These were of the South Carolina low country, Italy, and out west. The prints start as black and white, then sepia toned to create the specific look. Worth the time to visit.

Monica and Kelly were great guides. Monica's house tour was very interesting and she demonstrated knowledge and enthusiasm. Kelly took us around the old part of town showing historic sites at every turn. Very interesting facts about a town we've been to dozens of times.

I love giving gifts that are special and unique. I used to own a fine craft and art gallery so am thrilled when I find a place that captures my interests. Pluff Mud Art did just that. The walls are filled with art that I could have filled my walls with but I was there to buy a wedding gift and a house warming gift. I found both among a wide selection of pottery, wood turning and carving items and jewelery. The craftsmanship is excellent and the displays are well spaced so each piece can be viewed properly. There are a number of rooms and a lot to look at, I helped the local economy by all my gifts there.

Gallery showcases such a beautiful variety of fine art. A little something for everyone- folk, traditional landscape, abstract, beautiful birds and horses, maps. Many fun pieces, interesting palettes, and intriguing compositions. Camellia does custom framing too! Great selection of frames and mat colors. My piece looks better than I expected and I didn't have to break the bank. Owner and staff are so friendly and knowledgable and turn around time was very reasonable. So glad Camellia is in Bluffton now!
