Ceramic Designs by Albert

"Albert invited us in and gave us a tour. He was very friendly and informative. The place is a little rough, but his artwork is great!"

"Wow... my greeting upon entering Albert's studio was an inquiry, "Do you have a credit card?" and followed by "are you planning on buying or just looking around?". My brother-in-law who is a cermacist himself responded that we may buy depending on our interest in his work. Albert dismissed us immediately saying his work was "top secret". This dude is the rudest person we've encountered in Hawaii. If you are a ceramics enthusiast I highly recommend avoiding Cermic by Albert and instead checking out the incredible work of Maya at Luminous Cermics on Maui."

"This man was astonishingly rude and dismissive. Maybe alienating people is how he defines himself artistically, which would explain the stagnant and derivative nature of his work. Check out Luminous Ceramics (the MOST lovely woman) right here on Maui, or Light Wave Pottery on Kauai - both of whom will welcome you into their studio and gallery with a joy for ceramic art and the connections it can forge between people across continents and oceans."

"One star? You bought a hand made piece. One of a kind. From a genius and a genuine artisan. But put all the blame on them when you can't get it home. We've bought no less than eight pieces from Albert, at different times, and had them all shipped or carried home in our luggage to Australia. Every one is a perfect masterpiece and we are going back for more. We've looked all over Hawaii. Maui Ceramics is the best in their field. These pieces will be treasured all our lives as memories of our aloha. We thoroughly recommend everyone stop by the Maui swap meet, support all the locals and pick your own forever masterpiece by Albert. Mahalo nui loa for everything Albert"

"While on vacation in Maui, I purchased a beautiful piece of ceramic artwork. He wraped the artwork in bubble wrap and cardboard. When I arrived home in CA I found two large scratches. If he wrapped it in bubble wrap and card board, how did the scatches happen? I called Maui ceramics to inform them of the scratches and asked how we can remedy this problem. Albert sounded very short with me and told me to use finger nail polish to fix the scratches. In my opinion, Albert has very poor customer service behavior! He never once said I am sorry this happen, instead he had an instant attitude. Needless to say, when I visit Maui, I will NOT shop at Maui ceramics. This artwork was a birthday gift for me and I am very disappointed and do not recommend shopping at Maui ceramics. Jeanette from CA"
