After accumulating a massive following on the internet and at local and regional art shows, Swell Ceramics opened a brick-and-mortar shop space in Nags Head so that shoppers could peruse the pottery pieces without waiting for the next art show. This standing addition to the Outer Banks’ shopping and gallery showcases a collection of Instagram-famous coffee mugs, planters, plates, bowls and other handicraft in a comfortable space, complete with lush houseplants, succulents and a resident dog or two. Owned and operated solely by local Melanie Westheiden, Swell Ceramics invites shoppers to share her love for the beach and national parks through her products. Stop by the shop and peruse the handcrafted pieces of kitchenware, home goods and decor from the inspired collections, such as the Sea Foam collection, Bioluminescence, Southwest and the classic North Carolina-Waves design
