No one greeted us and no employee was at the register nor in the store portion the whole time we…read morewere there. I guess I wasn't very clear on what to expect after looking at their website before my visit. I much enjoy the Artists' Guild shop at Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll or Glynn Visual Arts on SSI and I had the impression that this would be Brunswick's version of those handmade art stores, but it wasn't. There was a paint-your-prefab-ceramics class going on in the back studio and people gathered around a table in the cafe making a craft or something. I know these are popular with certain people but Build-a-Bear type ceramics are not for me. The store portion is laid out much like an Anthropologie vibe, made to look like everything is precious and "deep." Merch was more crafty than artsy, like Etsy as a shop, with Etsy prices. All artsy-looking commercially produced goods or handicrafts rather than actual art--I saw no OOAK items in the shop, nothing actually handmade either unless the bead earrings were handmade on a loom but again, identical duplicates of them. It seemed like everything had to be a certain matching aesthetic and be a similar BoHo Brooklyn "Beige Mom" style. Brunswick can be diverse for those who embrace it, so the store name "Makers BWK" is a little misleading in that sense. When I think "Southern" + "art" I go to folk art or Gullah crafts, memory quilts, face jugs, etc. I get it if that's too traditional and established for the under-35s, but Brooklyn BoHo? I guess it's a novelty this far from NYC. Also, as you can see in my pictures, there was no coastal art representation for the Golden Isles. Unlike the Artists' Guild shop at Goodyear Cottage on Jekyll or Glynn Visual Arts on SSI, it just seems like there is no sense of locality infused in any of the products Makers BWK had. They mention goods from Haiti online so I appreciate if those are Fair Trade but there was nothing to explain what was local. The craft market candles? The mass-produced sketchbooks? Jewelry, candles, soap, cards, sketchbooks, random snacks... again, not OOAK original art. It is what it is, and good for those who like it. It's artsy craft market stuff. It's just not for me and was frustrating to waste time to visit when online it seemed depicted as actual art for sale.

For me the museum didn't amount to much, which is probably why its free of charge give away, but I found the Museum Gift Shop to be a nice place to pick up souvenirs, some really good quality items they refer to as being of the Jekyll Island Collection, books on the history of Jekyll Island Museum as well as some surrounding areas where you can view the old horse stalls of such notables as Joseph Pulitzer. This gift shop along with most of the others you'll find within the Jekyll Island Historic District are rather first class as opposed to the cheap stuff most often found in such tourist shops.

I bought a lovely sterling silver sand dollar necklace and earring set from this store while…read morevacationing in SSI. Mine was created from a mold of a real sand dollar - so cool! The set was just $64 - not bad for quality silver. There are a wide variety of options to choose from, including both sterling and non-sterling necklaces, rings, and earrings. They also have some home decor for sale. The owner of the store was just lovely, and helped me pick out the perfect set. Highly recommended!

While walking the shopping district, we popped into this little gem of a shop and were really…read morepleased with what we saw.

The shop is personable, warm and friendly and I'd come back every time I'm in town.

John found a Richard Scarry children's book in French and quickly called his sister to see if she wanted it for our niece. Next find was a Boy scout handbook from dad's childhood!

The tag was labeled as such- 1987 Seagrove pottery- score! I snapped pictures and took the jug home too- already sent photos to my friends in Seagrove, I know the family studio it was made in!

They offer classes across a variety of visual art mediums throughout the year. They offer a children's summer camp as well. On site they have an artists' store filled with handmade original works. GVA also does outreach in the community, providing free art crafts for local kids. They host outdoor markets on SSI at certain times of the year. We visited the store at Christmas time and found very interesting, beautiful original art items. Prices were higher on average than the Jekyll Goodyear Artists' shop, and there wasn't as much in the store but otherwise similar to that local artists' shop and definitely worth a visit. Staff (or volunteers?) were very friendly and helpful. I'm happy to have finally visited and I'd like to check out their classes and summer camp when we visit for a longer stay.
