The people behind the counter are also the people making the art for purchase. Artists' Own is part gift shop, part art gallery, and most everything is reasonably priced. There are gifts for all price levels, so just pop in and see what you can find. When I visited, I went with a local who said that she buys gifts for her family from Artists' Own, and requests that people buy her gifts from this shop. What a way to shop local! I saw everything from handmade kitchen tools to pottery to kids' toys to jewelry to art prints and much more. You will definitely find something unique here.

Brittany was a saint with how patient she was with the beginners in the various classes that took place while we were there. We had such a fun time with the fusing class that we will definitely be coming back for the other classes! With the fusing class, flameworking classes, furnace experiences, and ornament making, there's something for everyone!

Absolutely terrible customer service. I have called and emailed multiple times about getting our…read morepieces that we did 4-5 months ago. The only response I have received from Angela was "I assume so" about 3 months ago when I asked if our pieces were ready. When I asked when I could pick them up (because it is always locked, so you can't just drop in and check) she has never responded to me. I've called as well as emailed multiple times, and no response. The actual appointment wasn't very professional either, she just handed us clay and walked away to other customers (who were also very unsatisfied) but we made the most and had fun with it. I should have known from the initial meeting how terrible it would have been to get our pieces. Don't go here. There are multiple other places to go and do pottery in Lafayette who will actually teach you something and give you the pieces you paid for.

Photographers captured memorable moments in the 2-story art gallery, lined with original local artwork, chandeliers and an antique grand piano. The banquet area housed classically decorated tables for the wedding party and guests, a kitchen for food preparation and serving and even an area for dancing to the beats of the DJ.
