Stopped off here twice in our recent visit to Funchal. The artwork and jewellery is wonderfully displayed and at very reasonable prices. Bought some lovely unique pieces which I know will be admired. Cannot wait to visit again in October to see what else I can buy 💕

Tried dragging my wife past this shop unsuccessfully and ended up buying another bracelet to add to the collection.
Many thanks for great customer service in altering the clasp on a previously bought bracelet Alex and Alex. It was well appreciated and we look forward to visiting you in the near future.

Unusual and interesting selection of hand crafted products. I particularly liked some of the ceramic fish and the unusual jewellery at very reasonable prices.

We have been at this art craft store because we liked an fish in art craft remind us the fashion Sobral in Rio de Janeiro.Inside the store the 2 guys was sitingin front a desk, we did say Hello, Good Morning, no answer.. back only one of them move his head like HI and both doesn't say any word...They ignore us . They are more interested in the computer to sell something .We lost our interest at this store. Too much atitude and Madeira Island is a place that people are very welcome open mind well educated with a smile in theyer face .We decided to buy this art craft fish in another store with people in good mood and well educated .Hi or Good Morning or a smile is the first thing when we have someone in our busines or guest for a lunch or dinner in our place.

Good day. I and my spouse find your review inadequate and insulting. In the turn to your greetings you heard "Hi". We were glad to help you in your choice if you at least pronounced a word or hinted with gesture of it. The store which you visited is not only a place for exposing and selling of our items... it is a place where we make them and often shop's visitors can see us are working here: cutting glass, assemblage of bijouterie, painting of pictures , stitching of leather bags, modelling of clay and etc... and sometimes it is working in internet with suppliers of materials and even negotiations with them. As usual when you do some of those acts you are concentrated and perhaps look like offish. We don't like obtrusiveness in service and perhaps what you could find as ignoring. About your phrase: "this art craft fish in another store" it is not a true. All those fish which you saw in our shop were made of art glass by us and we have not provided our glass sculptures in any others shops.

After trying to find this shop was disappointed to find that you have to spend 31 euros or more in order to pay by card. The item I wanted to buy was 30 euros and I was not prepared to buy something else I didn't need. So I left and did not buy anything. Just be aware of this.

Good day, 1) You mislead people when writing "Spent days trying to find this place". Our shop is located in one of the main streets of Funchal. Front side of the store is facing the street (Rua da Carreira).Location of the shop is pointed correctly on the map in TripAdvisor's site... I can hardly imagine which place in the center of Funchal could be found more easily. 2) We have changed the rule of accepting for payments via cards.Now a client can pay by card any purchase up to 1 euro.

We visited today, and were most impressed with the fascinating and unusual art work on display, Alex and Alex are obviously doing a job that they both love,and this is clearly shown in their merchandise. We only spent a few euros in the shop but one or two pieces caught my eye ! We will return before our visit to Madeira comes to an end, and wish both of them well with there work and creativity, great place to visit and easy to find. Cheers Bryanj

Happened upon this place by chance, the guys were very helpful and their male and other jewelry is wonderfully artistic. They did some custom work while I waited and I am very pleased. Check them out when you are in Funchal.
