Bottom Line: Lots of locally made art in a variety of mediums and friendly employees…read more I am so glad that I learned about KDH Cooperative this summer. I was able to make two trips to the gallery and I made purchases both times. I really enjoyed looking at the variety of locally made art. In the end, I proudly purchased several pieces of pottery from different potters, two photographs from different photographers and a greeting card with a watercolor print on the front. I am most excited about a framed photograph of the iconic Sea Foam hotel from photographer Cyndi Goetcheus Sarfan. Aside from the aforementioned items, the store has various types of paintings, jewelry, sculptures, glass, candles and mixed media art. The employees, who I believe are local artists themselves, were very friendly.

You know, stained glass crabs, smartly exposed prints under sandy piers, driftwood centerpieces, and an irresistible print of a few sandpipers in a rough wooden frame. The store itself was clean and well lit--not too crowded, not too sparse. The proprietor, Dee Isenhour, was willing to talk and talk up her artists; it was clear that she liked them as people and admired their offerings. And she wasn't surprised, but she was surely delighted when we showed up two days later to buy the sandpipers.

When I got in, a young girl explained prices and procedures, $8 dollars for "studio time" for painting, and then the additional cost of the ceramic pottery. When I got my pieces and sat down, I was told I could only pick 5 colors from their selection for my decorative plate and 5 for my nephew for his piece, each additional color was another charge. I think it was .50-.75 per extra paint. Bogus. Whatever, my nephew and I painted. It ended up being about a $70 activity which was surprising because at Plaster Fun Time with $70 I could probably paint a quarter of the store. Just over priced. Especially asking people to pay for "studio time". This studio time should be included in the price of the pieces. You have to pay for the time, the pieces, the paint, I'm surprised they don't charge you for the brushes or water. I won't be coming here again :)
