What People Are Saying
from Google"As an artist and art lover, this place has it ALL. I absolutely loved the huge pen section of so many fun colors and ink types. They have a little notepad left out to try all the pens. Nahcotta is also a bit of an art gallery and as a potter, I loved all the ceramic pieces. If you are a ring girlie, their ring selection is beyond gorgeous. I especially loved all the stickers and greeting cards and had a nice little pipstick collection. My girlfriends and I were out for a mid-week girls day in February and the perfect time to be in Portsmouth. We all loved this placed! I chatted with the lady working (forget her name), but she was so sweet! I could totally spend all my money here!"
"THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SELLING! All the art supply and stationary are top of top quality. I can’t wait try it out once i get back to the Airbnb. The shop is soooo cute, the staff are sooo warm! It was a great experience :-) I can’t believe I never heard about it before. 👍💖"
"I enjoyed my experience at Nahcotta. It was a wonderful place with a plethora of pieces. I did not end up purchasing anything but the staff was great. Especially Maddy Maddy helped me peak my interest in art that I didn’t know I had. We glimpsed at some pieces I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for her, so sweet of her. She was polite. Efficient. And her smile lit up the room. She knew the gallery well. I even delayed my dinner date to continue our conversation about the ETA wall. I hope to be back soon to get some of her assistance. I also enjoyed their collection of cards :)"
"Absolutely fabulous store full of treasures. I loved the large selection of art prints and original paintings."
"This is a stationary-lovers dream. Nahcotta has everything from artisan art supplies and notebooks, to fine local art and jewelry. I found several gorgeous mugs, stickers, and pins there. It’s the perfect place to grab a unique and thoughtful gift for someone!"
