Reviewed By SharonB2 - Havelock, United States

Mark is the potter and Lynn is the painter (although Lynn also creates lots of clay hand building items). This married duo is very talented and so nice to boot! They offer classes of all kinds, give to the community, help Cancer patients have some fun, and are an asset to Morehead City and the local arts. Their shop offers many beautiful paintings and handmade pottery items. If you want, they’ll even ship your purchases back home if you find something while on vacation!

Michelle Johnson Fairchild was on-site and working in her "magic room" as we enjoyed her vibrant paintings and prints just steps away in the front of her small studio. Michelle's personality matches her paintings, and I found her to be an inspiration. The room seemed to give us energy. She was inviting and hospitable, yet respectful of our space and time. Unlike other galleries, many of her pieces are quite affordable. Don't be fooled by the entrance that doesn't fully face the street and appears to be an office. Go down 8th Street a few steps from Arendell and you'll be there.
