Absolutely amazing find! Gorgeous locally made things. This is not your grandma's dusty flea market…read morestall. These pieces are carefully constructed works of art and meticulously cared for. Leather work, exquisite jewelry and clever pottery. Gorgeous prints and local photos with mosaic frames. I picked up two little pots on magnets - great for single flowers picked by your kids to stick to the fridge. Practical and lovable. Wanted to spend all my money. Not too pricey. 10/10 will comeback.

My friend and I went for a session at Kelly's place back in November and I honestly needed this! I…read morewas sad the ceramics studio in Ithaca had closed due to the pandemic but Kelly was gracious enough to open her home for a session. There are two wheels and she guided my friend and I amidst great conversation. The space is small and cozy but enough to be distanced while working (we all wore masks). She chooses the glaze on her own and I loved my items when I picked them up. Kelly is a very sweet person and I thoroughly enjoyed the session + her company :)

I haven't taken a class with Kelly, but I've purchased some of her pottery and I can't say enough…read moregood things about it! She's incredibly talented and the quality of the products she makes is out of this world. You can tell how passionate she is by the products she sells, and there's just something special about drinking coffee, tea, or hot chocolate out of a handmade mug. (I highly recommend her wine cups, too!)

A very nice shop. We were clearly a group of bums, and the owner was very helpful in trying to…read moretrack down a very specific print from a few years ago. One of our group has a custom hand built vehicle from the 1970s (a project/development car that never came to be) and the local art master (lol, you know what I mean) did some work of it. Full disclosure, we didn't actually buy anything- but this place was great, and they deserve a good review, and some photos of the place. (Also, they weren't even on Yelp before we got there!)

I really enjoyed this place. It's small but there's lots to look at…read more The artist was there working and chatting. She was super friendly and laid back. I didn't feel any pressure to buy something or awkwardness that you sometimes get in other little shops. I was impressed by the quality of the pottery. There's also different stuff from other local artists.

In the studio, Mary Ellen creates her unique ceramic work, and shares her knowledge through pottery classes. The art gallery is a welcoming place, with a great variety of media, scale, and prices; something for everyone. Sculptures by Jay Seaman adorn the front lawn, while lapidary work, fiber art, jewelry, ceramics, paintings, blown and stained glass, and paper crafts live inside. The bright yellow house sets the tone for your visit that will surely leave you smiling.

This was my favorite place to shop in Ithaca. Good amount of street parking in the area, and the…read morestaff members are friendly. It's similarly sized to other college town artist co-ops that I've encountered, but their inventory has some of the best variety of mixed media I've seen, at an appreciably high standard. Jewelry/accessories, apparel, pottery/glassware, wood carvings, prints/paintings, wreaths, and more home decor of all materials and dimensions. We found the perfect souvenirs to commemorate a group hike we did during our trip, after discussing the merits amongst ourselves between three artists who depicted the same trail in their own approaches: linograph vs photograph vs watercolor. We also purchased some crocheted plushies and a magnet, and my better half talked me out of a piece of enhanced folded book art. To respect the no photography policy of many of the artists, I'll just note that the website's artist portfolio just represents a drop in the bucket of what you'll find. We'll definitely stop in again for more unique wares whenever we pass through the area.
