Casey Starks Studio 550 Lighthouse Avenue, Monterey, CA 93940

"Great art studio to find gifts for home or office. Casey works the register as well so you get to meet the artist and talk about her work."

"Warm and Inviting craft studio. Owner is super friendly and hosts a number of work shops. My daughter loves this place."

"This little shop in Monterey is so brightly lit and inspiring! I was visiting the area for a few days with my husband and this studio had the cutest ceramic goodies all handmade by the shop owner. I wanted to stick around and do a workshop where we could make our own projects and take them home, however my visit was too short to plan ahead for one. My husband bought an aqua blue mug with a really pretty intricately textured pattern that he *really* loves and uses constantly. It's adorably modern and we (pretend) fight over who gets to use it all the time. My only regret is not getting another one, so when we come back to visit I will be buying more things as gifts (mostly for myself but maybe I'll think about other people too)! There were trinket dishes, small jewelry items, really gorgeous lamps, vases, lots more that I can't remember, though I do remember everything was made with love and attention. A wonderful place to get gifts for your loved ones!"
