Crescent Moon’s motto — ”the only thing here mass produced is originality!” — reveals the essence of this retail gift gallery. Including fine hand-crafted art glass and metal sculpture and showcasing more than 75 artists from North America, several of whom are local to Wilmington or North Carolina, Crescent Moon offers functional, decorative, wearable and collectible art. They even offer a full line of “Judaica” art. Owners since 2007, Joan and Mike Loch can be found behind the counter educating and informing customers of the techniques used to make the many items of art glass. Mike is a glass blower and stained-glass artist, and Joan envisions working with flame-worked glass someday soon. Crescent Moon features premier artists Rick Satava with his “jelly fish” and Josh Simpson with his “planets,” and video in the store provides a look into their respective studios. Stop in and be dazzled by the talent, beauty and vibrancy of Crescent Moon. Gift wrapping is always free, and browsing is encouraged.
