So Bayou Art Co-op is lots of things that I happen to love. I'm pretty passionate about local art, foods, sights...you name it-if it's local I'm in!! Bayou Art stocks high quality paintings, magnets, candles, backpacks, Christmas ornaments and jewelry. It's a great shop to pick up unique Cajun and all things Louisiana gifts. Do you need an LSU painting? How about some Saints jewelry? And if your kitchen doesn't sport Tabasco themed decor can you even call it a kitchen? I think not. Probably the best kept little secret in Lafayette. Get in here today! You will love it! In the words of the late great Justin Wilson- I Guarantee!

This place is sooo amazing. I had three little one's whose birthdays were this month. Decided to do…read moresomething differently to celebrate and we all loved it! So you go in and choose what you'd like to paint. Huge variety of figurines, plates, mugs, cups, piggy banks, ornaments, etc. The employee shows you what the paint will look like before and what it'll end up looking like for your final product. There's a wall of colors showing what the finished color looks like, corresponding to the number of the paint bottle. The kids loved that. It made it very easy for them. So we painted, and the process took about an hour and a half or so - the kids took their time. To get strong colors it was suggested that we paint at least three coats! So what we did is considered undergloss- the products still have to be fired up in the kiln and then glossed. She quoted that we can come back in exactly a week. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I am writing to express my concerns and disappointment regarding my recent experience with Painted…read moreBayou. Unfortunately, my experience has not been satisfactory, and I believe it warrants this review. We had been patiently waiting for over two months for a piece to be bisque fired at this business. Throughout this period, I made numerous calls, only to be informed each time that the piece was still sitting on the shelf with no anticipated firing date communicated. Weeks later, I was told that the piece was ready for pick-up, but no one from Painted Bayou had bothered to called to inform us. Upon arriving to pick up the piece, an employee committed that it would look beautiful glazed and fired, I agreed and I explained my daughter had made the piece but went away to college before finishing. The employee assured me that my daughter could come into Painted Bayou, glaze paint it and have it fired. Excited, I agreed and pre-paid for the service. My daughter came in for Christmas, and I surprised her with the news. She went in painted the piece and left it with Painted Bayou to be glaze fired. Since then, there had been no communication regarding the status of the piece. On February 5th, 2026, I called to check on the piece and was informed that they didn't know exactly where it was but would locate it and fire it, again, asking me to check back with them. Today, when I called back as instructed, I learned that the piece still hadn't been fired. I requested that a manager call me, and I received a text from the owner "Simone" informing me that the piece would not be glaze-fired because we had only discussed and paid for a bisque fire. I explained to the owner the bisque fire had been performed by her company and that we were now waiting on a glaze firing. Simone clearly had no idea as to what was happening. She then mentions that she wouldn't fire the piece because she didn't know where the clay came from. While I understand there are concerns in this the process. it puzzles me as to why this was not communicated to me back in December or on February 5th. As I attempted to explain my frustrations to Simone over a call, she immediately began interrupting me. I politely asked her to allow me to finish, and i would extend her the same courtesy. She did listen but responded with "I don't tolerate bullies," and clarified that I was a bully because I ask her to allow me to speak first. I am assuming this was an attempt to change the whole dynamic of the actual call. Being called a bully while expressing my frustrations as her customer has left me shaking my head in disbelief. I'm not certain what "gaslighting" or 'woke" really is, but I feel i may have experienced both. It was apparent they weren't going to finish the piece. I mentioned that I had already pre-paid for the firing and very frustrated I said that she could keep the monies as a parting gift. I just really wanted to come pick up the piece before something happen to it. Her response was, "I don't need your money; it has bad energy." How about bad business practices? After she hung up on me there were other texts sent back and forth between us. The one that shocked me read, "I'm not engaging with you anymore. I will be happy to fire the piece tonight and if it melts so be it." Why would it melt, you're the professionals right? Was that meant to be some sort of a threat? I found the overall experience to be bad business, filled with arrogance, and a lack of responsibility or professionalism. It is quite unbelievable that this place is still in business with such poor customer service practices.

When you book your appointment you'll select a project to make your own from a variety of beautiful pieces and they'll have it ready for you when you go in. What I loved so much about making this is how hands on it is. You start out with a piece of unfinished wood and from start to finish you sand, stain, paint and even apply the hardware to it. The instructors are there to guide the way if you need and you literally can just completely make it your own, as in depth or as basic as you want it to be, the choice is yours! I made a gorgeous piece for my home and got a little extra with different colors and even some fancy shadow letters. I'm so happy with the way it came out! Highly highly recommend!!

This store has some of the laziest staff ever. One time I went this lazy woman wouldn't give me a bag and when she did she had an attitude. The second time I went I needed some fabric but one section of it was faded and no good, but the rest of it was good and this other lady said that it was supposed to be like that and we argued over whether it was messed up or not. I am not color blind and I know when colors are faded or not and I refuse to buy sections of fabric that are messed up! Then when she finally decided to have some sense and cut the fabric I went on my way, but not without being pissed.
