The artists that she brings in are mostly artists from Texas and can we talk about variety. I like what people would call abstract or "weird" art and she has a wonderful selection for me to pick from. My hubby like the more traditional landscape scenes and she has plenty of that too and all things in between. If I had a house, walls and money I would pretty much empty her store. My husband and I are full-time Rver's. I recommend this gallery for everyone!

I am only sad "The Titanic Birdhouse" made entirely of metal scraps, by Samuel Mirelez, has been sold. Not that I could have afforded it.

The place is packed wall-to-wall with quirky gag gifts, retro knickknacks, and offbeat finds you didn't even know you needed--think everything from sarcastic coffee mugs to oddball toys and prank gifts that'll have you cracking up on the spot. The vibe is playful and light, and the staff totally leans into the fun. They're happy to help you pick out something ridiculous for your friend's birthday, or just let you wander and laugh at the shelves for a while. It's one of those spots you stop into "just to look" and somehow walk out with three things you had no intention of buying--but no regrets.

I have approached Pyrology for support but they are refusing. Although the relationship began very well, of late it has been plagued by crosstalk and mixed messages. Despite claiming repeatedly that their patinas should last forever, they now assert that patinas are only covered for one year. At this point, I don't care what they claim. For me the bottom line is clear: either they stand behind their work or they don't.

Since I'm not an artist, I can't review this place's prices, business, organization or service…read more What I can tell you is that I was so impressed and awed by the things that go on here. You walk up the sidewalk (which is flanked by two pieces of beautiful bronze art) into the main gallery. Well, what used to be a gallery and is now kind of a working space. The work here is just amazing. Bronze sculptures, large and small are scattered about the spot. There are also paintings there that I can only assume are for sale. The gal up front was kind enough to give us the full tour through the foundry and I got to see all of the things -- the fire and wax and sculpting. If you get the chance (and if they're doing it) try and cajole your way into one of those. They do all kinds of things for fabulous artists and fabulous locations. Definitely worth a gander if you're in the Bastrop area!

The building is a fully restored one with nice wood floors and an impressive main wing. There are three galleries to look at with the crazy quilt one being my favorite. The docents are very nice and attentive and the atmosphere is very chill and quiet. All in all, we were there for maybe 30 minutes because you are allowed to take photos, just no flash. There's a small gift shop and parking was pretty easy too. You're even next to a quilting shop.
