I went there for the first time shortly after their first Mardi Gras, and have returned several times since. I also love having their kits shipped directly to my door. Krewes, Indians, and just regular old people like me love this store and all it has to offer. Glitters, glues, trims, feathers, spectacular examples of the different handmade throws, an ample work space, and some of the most creative minds in the business to help you in anyway you need. Even when you're shopping from afar, they are still a great help, and if you put a note in on your order (like, don't ship before this date) they actually pay attention and you'll get what you need exactly when you want it. It's not a hobby; it's a way of life.

In addition, the studio may be used by potters in what is called Open Studio. The third option is use of the pottery studio facility by the hour. I have taken pottery through the years at various locations and from a variety of teaching potters, but none can match the teaching skills of Karin Burt. In just two class sessions, I learned the reasons behind pottery techniques that I had not known before. All I can say is Karin is an exceptional, patient and talented educator. Karin is an artist in her own right, whose distinctive pottery pieces can be seen in the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) Gift Shop (in historic City Park) the gift shop of NOCCA (New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts) Gallery and the Press Street Cafe (both located in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans.

This is a great place to work on your own craft projects or you can choose one of the shop's many projects to make. They host kid's birthday parties, ladies' nights out and bridal showers.

Unfortunately, you cant always help who you fall in love with I suppose... The woman that introduced herself rather rudely as the owner; was not at all welcoming. And to be completely honest, I've dealt with rude people many times now in my adult life, and I've learned to take it with a grain of salt. What I can't overlook however, is a racist. I am a father to two biracial children, and I took my two boys to see this shop as we had just happened to talk about how glass was created, so the idea came to me that it would be far more memorable to SHOW them, as opposed to tell them right? Well, nothing more convenient than a glass blowing business in our own town. I explained the process to them on the way to Rosetree (to the best of my ability) and my two were stoked. When we arrived, I explained to them to stay close to me, and to not touch anything (the normal parent speech); and my boys 8 & 12 are very well mannered and behaved. Fast forward, after the boys got to view the process, we perused the store. Nice items? Sure. Overpriced? Insanely. Nonetheless, we viewed the pieces and then were going to leave. Here's where things went south. My 12 year old needed to use the restroom. My 8 year old decided he wanted to go with him. As such, he quickly half sprinted to try to catch up to his older brother, when the owner comes over and tries to reprimand them, at which point, I reminded the boys to calm down, and then politely asked the lady to not speak to my boys in that manner. I figured, that it was polite enough, yet would get the point across. Except this lady, the "owner" tells me that "she isnt going to allow little nigger kids to tear up her store...." I will say in all honesty, I probably should have been more calm in my response; but these are my kids, and I dont care who you are, you don't speak to my or about my kids that way. I came unglued. She double downed on her statement and scurried to the back like the rat she is muttering about calling the cops. I told her to go ahead, and that I hoped a black officer arrived to take the criminal complaint. Needless to say, I grabbed my boys out of the bathroom and got them to the car to leave. Look, I know there is racism. I know that its prevalent. I know that this is the South and its more prevalent here; but I will say this is the first time I have ever been exposed to outright blatant racism. Maybe it's because I'm a white dad to two biracial children, but it's not something I have ever experienced first hand, and I am sad for the future my boys will have to endure if the world is full of people like this lady. So do what you will, the store has nice things. It has nice employees. But the owner is absolute trash, and I wish nothing but the worst for her and her business. I honestly feel a bit sorry for her. I have two great boys, and her outlook on them as nothing but a derogatory name because of the color of their skin means that she would never get the opportunity to experience how great of kids they are. As for myself, and my family however; we will never come back to the store again. We will be telling all of our friends, our family, and website review boards about our experience, so maybe it will save someone else the heartbreak that it could have caused my boys.
