He made it a point to tell us the story behind some of the pieces. He saw that I was drawn to a red vase so he immediately described the colors used. I knew I had to purchase it as soon as I saw it. This place is worth a visit and talking to Tim De Jong (owner & artist) was icing on the cake.

The showroom is beautiful with all the different pieces of glass they offer from vases, chandeliers, and jewelry. There are also pictures showing buildings where their unique pieces are hanging including hospitals and law offices. The glass blowing area has a gallery that allows you to sit and watch glass blowing demonstrations from beginning to finished piece. They explain how colors are added and how different shapes are created. If you are interested in glass blowing, I would suggest a trip to Wimberley Glassworks.

From sculpture priced at thousands to earrings under $15, there's a variety of prices and styles packed in this small storefront. Decorative to functional. Someone is doing day of the dead paintings of animals, and I'm quite fond of the pittie, horse and chihuahua. Given Art Squared was shut down half the year and local restaurants were a popular display for many, this is an important chance for artists to be seen and possibly earn some income. Nice peek at local artistry if you can't make the Art Squared fair (second Saturdays ea month except Jan/feb).

This is my favorite local art gallery in town!! Every time they do an event, there's a lot of…read morepeople there but also plenty of space to wander as it's a large building with 3 art galleries connected to one another. Every showcase I've gone to I've loved from start to finish -- especially because of the diversity in having different art themes in each art gallery (it's like going to 3 shows in one night). They always offer a variety of tasty complementary drinks as well. For as long as I'm here, I'll be going to all the events hosted here. It's easily a 10/10.

This is the second time I have been here and both times I felt like it might just be the 8th wonder…read moreof the world. Went to the "Dirt Dauber" festival here which was a celebration of local pottery. Artists were set up everywhere, there were workshops/demos/contests, live music, pets and kiddos running around, hot dogs, and free beer (you were simply encouraged to purchase a vessel in which to pour it in). Everyone was ridiculously talented - and so friendly. The local community (san marcos I guess) is so supportive, but folks came out from all over in support. One highlight was they had the pottery wheels set up to play! SO. MUCH. FUN. (especially after beer) I totally want a wheel now, but it's easy to see it takes quite a bit of practice along with significantly more artistry than I possess. (Oh, and that scene from Ghost? Totally realistic because it's seriously erotic for some reason.) I am fortunate enough to be friends with the niece of the owners of the property (Beverley and Billy Ray rock!), and am unbelievably grateful for the opportunity to get a tour of the whole place. This includes their personal home which is a magical maze full of treasures. I have never seen so much art and sculpture and pottery and trinkets and souvenirs and momentos...the list goes on. It's a feast for the eyes. Everywhere you look there is something to explore. The house is divided up by season as well; for example, there is a "summer room" downstairs that has A/C, or the "Spring room" which has a handmade wooden murphy bed platform ON THE BALCONY that pulls down to sleep on. There is a fishtank for a wall by the tub indoors, or one could use the outdoor shower they crafted. They even have their own giant bar attached to the home. Walking around there is surreal; it makes you want an entirely different life. We also got to see a couple studios in which the owners (and visiting artists) work. So friggin cool. They do all sorts of workshops and also host celebrations/festivals/exhibitions of sorts (like the one I went to, or a salsa competition (the kind you eat ;). I encourage you to find any reason you can to get out there. The whole experience felt hippy dippy trippy to the max; by that I mean it didn't reek of patchouli or pot, but rather of a better place and time gone past where everyone was encouraged to be whoeverthefuck they want to be and express that however they wish (in dress, through art, or the way they live, who they love, and so on) and all were accepted, and appreciated. Good music, drank, and people all mashed up. Love.

Did they have a lot of fun. YUP. Depending on where you are coming from its up the hill right as you enter hill country off of 290 from south austin. If you are coming from the west off 290 its headed towards south austin about 20min from Dripping Springs a few min past Belterra strip mall food area. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating on a Sunday around 12noon ish Thanksgiving weekend. No time limit on doing your chosen art. I tried glass making for the 1st and it was fun and challenging l. Instructions by the staff very useful! Friendly. Helpful. Welcoming. We each chose something different. Plenty of items small, med or large to chose from. Pottery comes with whatever pain you want, glass area there are easy and complex projects. You pay, they fire/bake the pieces and you show up about a week later to grab your pieces. We each got something around 40.00 or under. Time flew by. We were there for maybe 2.5hrs. My teens were not on their phones once. Engaged, creative, good family time. Come visit, bring a friend, spouse/partner, day date, just yourself. Thank you for having this space for folks to be in the moment and creative with things that open their mind, heart and soul
