Artesano, 226-2370, opposite Fido s Courtyard on Front Street, has some exquisite ceramics painted by local artists. Artesano allows you to have your own art embedded into another medium so that you can keep it as a permanent image. They can take your photo, painting or computer-generated graphic north little rock times and transfer it onto a ceramic tile. As their special glaze heats, the image melts into the glaze and becomes embedded into the tile. These tiles can be used as decorations in a frame (like a picture) or as wall art. For ideas, look at the murals in the bathrooms at Fido s. The original piece in the ladies room is four by three feet (1.2 by.9 meters).
The terminal also houses the Maritime Museum and the Coastal Zone Museum. Both are open daily from 8 am to 4:30 pm; tickets are sold just outside the door, at the same booth where water taxi tickets are sold, and are good for both museums. The cost is BZ $4 per person, but US $4 for foreigners. The museum s main floor has model boats and documents on display in dusty glass cases with little lighting. It offers a historical account of the maritime history of Belize. Upstairs is a collection of shells and corals illustrating the oceanography of the area. The entire north little rock times museum is in dire need of repair and care. 223-1969.
