Blue Sea Artisans

A great resource of local artists and their works. The collection includes a variety of artistic styles and presentations. The store is staffed by the artists on a rotation basis and they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Was walking by this place after eating pizza across from the pizza place .I wasn't really looking for anything but saw a nice print I liked and bought it .Just so happened the girl that worked there was the artist and told me it was a coop gallery which I like . Its a nice friendly place without pushy sales people.

I went into this shop on a Friday and purchased a bracelet for my daughters birthday, $180.00. The woman ran my card and I SIGNED a slip. I then turned around and saw a little print for $12.00 we paid cash for. The woman told us if our daughter wanted something else or size was wrong to come back all would be good. Next morning we give her the bracelet and it is a little big. On our way to the beach we stop and exchange it for another, this one being less money, they refund us $25.00. Now all of a sudden they say that our card did not run correctly and we still owed them for the bracelet. I said we would check with our bank upon returning home later that day from the beach. Nuff said right? Within the following five hours they continually called and harassed me about the bracelet at least five times (shows on my phone). I finally got upset when they put the original person I bought the bracelet from on the phone and she tried to tell me that I had "run" out of the shop to soon. WTF? I reminded her that when I had turned and saw a print of manta rays that I also wanted to buy after purchasing the bracelet, she had told me "I will have to run your card again" but my husband had cash for that and he paid it. I then reiterated what we had come to agreement on when we left the shop that we would check when we got home. Immediately upon returning home my husband called up the bank on the computer and sure enough, it had not run. SUNDAY MORNING I get up and first thing I head the HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE to their shop. I should mention that it has been a different person each day. Now I tell the woman I am here to pay for a bracelet and reimburse the $25.00 that is not rightly mine. She proceeds to tell me with a very snotty tone, that this is not her doing and I would have to come back another day. Say what? I said no, I drove here owing you money and you need to take it. Now she starts repeating "she can't wrap her head around this", I need to go away, she doesn't want to deal with me. She had taken my receipt and WOULD NOT give it back and wanted the original credit card (cold day in you know where before they got their hands on our card again) I asked her to call somebody else so we can get this done, she does, but then while I am talking to the person SHE CALLED, she pressed the hang up button on the phone cutting me off from speaking with this other person. By this time it is evident there is something seriously wrong with this woman, she asks me "where is the bracelet"? And I told her my daughter has it, she then goes off yelling I better get that bracelet back to the shop or she is calling the police. I am here with the money you freakin loon, call the police I need them. She got on the phone to the mall cop and after he showed up and I explained what was going on he said "I see what you mean". I told him she wouldn't give me my receipt back, and when I did, she handed it over. Somebody else from the shop showed up and I was able to get through to them and FINALLY pay them! I have notified Visa of what went on and this review is a warning to all, BEWARE! I simply can't imagine being in business with this sort of inanity. You can just imagine the losses on both sides. Recap: I will NEVER, NEVER step foot in, steer visitors or family to that circus of the macabre again.
