There are multiple ones scattered on the property and there are some workshops that we were lucky enough to go inside and explore with the artist. He told us about his work and showed us some works in progress. This large lot can be a bit challenging as it's outside in the brush but there's some strange and cool stuff here. Some of it is for sale but most is for the gallery. I had a fun time and there's lots to take pictures and videos of. Parking is a bit odd. We had to park in the driveway on the side of the road but it's not impossible.

The little shop/apothecary is cute and has lots of options. The staff person was really friendly and helpful. Her conversation was interestingly hilarious.

I happened on this place originally by happenstance and had a great conversation with the owner. She made me feel at ease bringing in a couple paintings to have framed that I had been putting off to avoid putting them in the hands of amateurs. Each piece is meticulously stored until ready to work with it and looks immaculate upon pick up. The entire staff are great and patient and the prices fair, particularly for the caliber of work they do. I can't recommend this place to enough people. Oh, and they have a really interesting and eclectic offering of local pieces for sale to. This place is always worth stopping by.

Additionally, they had things made of wood such as turned bowls and clever utensils. They had some beautiful ornaments, made out of ceramic, I bought one of those. It was $50.

In addition to the art portion of the business, there is a workshop section where people can go to classes and learn ceramics or painting and other things. The woman who was working was very helpful and kind. I look forward to frequency this gallery regularly.

There were several staff members present and security. Everyone was extremely helpful and super friendly. Great instructors, great participants, great fun!!!

On view are exceptional works by Grant Reid, a native of Scotland, now living in Austin. Grant's photography covers a wide range of images from his world travels with a concentration on architectural and figurative motifs. All are enhanced by his clever use of abstraction, distortion and painterly gestures which captures the joyful celebration of people and places. Also, check out the photogravures by Dennis Fagan. His work is mainly from his series on the River, with striking imagery that is a marriage of the print, ink, resin and the copper plate. Both artists' works can be seen through February 22nd.
