There is lots of glass there. Mark Rosenbloom is a blower, Lighthouse Glass, makes cast pieces. And there are other artist there. Do a google search on Art Glass in New Orleans. There also were some night galleries downtown.

Enjoy

Dee .... Think you are right it is on Magazine Street . Is that not the Garden District ? I read about it a while back as I remember think they teach too.. It is quite a studio. Sure would be worth checking out.

Oh! for some good shrimp creole or an oyster loaf (dressed). Coffee at Cafe Dumonde overlooking the Mississippi River is wonderful, too...........yum yum

Are you going to be there for Jazz Fest? Last weekend in April, first weekend in May. If not then just stay for it. It is the best time of year to be there. Unbelievable music and the food is overwhelming. Then if you can hang on till June you can go to the Glass Art Society conference.

See the Renaissance New Orleans Arts Hotel. Big Chihuly stuff and Mitchell Gaudet for local flavor. Then go to Rock N Bowl for late night ten pens and blues.
