In January, my husband and I popped in your shop after finding artwork by a local artist in a restaurant downtown. We were told that the lady working at this establishment would be able to assist us with finding the local artist. Instead, we were met with a woman who was not helpful. When we entered the shop, she was doing her best to show off to another woman by behaving like a stuck up bore. We found her to be rude, condescending, and extremely disrespectful to us and about the local artist who shamelessly had art displayed in a restaurant. She was very curt to us, obviously judging our station in life, based upon
an artist who made an emotional connection with me though a piece of hand thrown pottery.
Being with the military for 30+ years I have collected pottery from 43 countries. Some pieces were very expensive, some not so much. All have called to me by creating a sense of wonder, invoking a deep emotion or calmness, and a few mark a point in time recreating the exilleration of an adventure or memory with a single glance.
I really don't know or care who this woman was. She either has no appreciation of the process of creation or is incapable of seeing a piece of art beyond the dollar sign.
The bottom line for me? When you hire personnel, they should be helpful/respectful. This person is the face of your organization. In future trips to Sedona, we will ensure we do not reenter this establishment based on her disdainful attitude.
