Picture Rocks Talavera and Decor

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Such a nice selection of Talavera and the pottery lady that runs this business is so nice and helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for beautiful colorful pottery to brighten up their home."

Philabaum Glass Gallery

★★★★★ 4.9 (18) • $$$

"A husband and wife team runs the show. In the front you'll find a boutique filled with blown glass creations at prices ranging from the affordable (under $100) to the fabulous ($3k+). Much of their inventory is sourced from their on-site studio.Gain access to the studio and you can bask in an orange glow emanating from their 3k degree furnace, which holds molten glass waiting to be spun and blown into wild creations. I was fortunate enough to take a fantastic 3 hour class introductory class here. They put me to work spinning paperweights, blowing Christmas ornaments, and having myself a grand old time.If you're a fan of artisanal glass check out their shop and if you've got the urge to spin, cut, and twist the stuff sign up for one of their classes!"

Pinspiration Tucson

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"The perfect spot to escape the heat and release your inner crafter! We did the date night splatter room - included black light paint, two canvases, and even some chocolates to enjoy! We had a ton of fun splattering the paint and creating masterpieces. They offer a ton of kids camps and classes for adults- will 10/10 be back for a girls day! The staff were so kind and helpful - making the experience that much more enjoyable!"

Ginger's Peculiar

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I have known Jerry for over 12 years and have gotten several bags from him. The workmanship is only the best. Who ever I have show them to has always commented on the workmanship. Attention to detail is outstanding. All of his work is very intricate you can't help but see the care he puts into his work. This is the place to go if you need that special wall art, bag (from glasses case to a beach bag size), coat you name it.Each piece is a piece of art."

Quilts Gallery

★★☆☆☆ 1.7 (6) • $$$

"I guess I'm here to raise the bar. We have a sister that quilts so we came to see. And we discovered ladies one of a kind southwest tops. Very unusual, and in fact went home with two ladies finish tops to be worn over another color. I would say dressy casual."

This n’ That Creative Studio

★★★★★ 4.6 (8)

"This is a nice and cozy place to take your kids for arts and crafts. The staff is super friendly and they know how to work with kids. My kids warmed up to the hosts very quickly. They have fun hands on activities and a room cover in colorful paint. This is your go to spot to help your kids get creative. Cheers!"

Dark30 Arts

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Everything I have bought from them has been amazing! I've bought a few pairs of slippers and grocery bag dispensers and even a tote bag for when I grocery shop at Sprouts so I don't have to buy a plastic bag when I'm there and I'm definitely buying more from them! Not only is everything expertly made by hand but it is durable (and the slippers are so comfortable) but the prices are so low!!! So you don't have to sacrifice quality for price! It's a win-win if you ask me! One order for an alpaca beanie did come a week 1/2 late but I was ok with it because Jessica, (the woman who does the crocheting), kept me informed the entire time and I even got a surprise free alpaca beanie in my package just for the inconvenience so it was like buy one get one free just for the extra wait! So it was worth it to be late. So still giving Dark30 Arts 5 stars despite one order being a little behind schedule because it was better for me in the end!!!"

Casa Maya De Mexico

★★★★★ 4.5 (2) • $$$

"We wanted a two seat Mexican Bench with a little table separating us. For the front patio. Here we found a few and if we wanted to wait we could order the exact colors of the tiles on the table. So we made the order and I picked it up today. Came out nice."

Del Sol Stores

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (8) • $$

"As much as my kid and I wanted to take our time souvenir shopping during our Tucson itinerary, it just didn't happen. So Del Sol on N. 4th in Tucson, came as an expensive (didn't want to) last resort right before my daughter and I headed to the airport. The owner provided tissue paper to protect a small vase for my mom, 2 color Southwestern jewelry tin boxes and of course, a dream catcher and secured with heavy-duty packing tape. Yes, you can expect to find a wide variety of items that reflect the local culture at Del Sol. And yes, the craftsmanship is all here including traditional clothing, accessories, and OMG- the handcrafted turquoise jewelry- but price wise, is slightly up there."

Tucson Clay Arts Center

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3)

"They don't do this or that!!! If you want to make a bowl or cup, it's the place ...otherwise useless!!! The instruction was not there, all I heard we don't do that or that!!! It's a mixed class and the experience ones took first place!!! Not the beginners!!! Save your money and move on!!!"

Santa Fe Arts Pottery & Patio Furniture

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"Santa Fe Arts and Pottery has an excellent selection of imported Mexican pottery, wrought iron furniture and other patio and home decoration. Most of their goods are intended to be used outdoors but they also offer smaller and more delicate items for inside your home. The shop is huge so you're bound to find a treasure, but the best part here is the service! Pancho helped us find exactly what we were looking for and gave us a great price on everything. He even loaded our car! My Aunt and Uncle bought a small patio table with colorful tiles and wanted a second matching table but what they wanted didn't exist. Pancho offered to build a custom table to match (not sure if he built the table himself or just helped broker the deal). It took a few days for the custom table to be ready, but it was perfect. AND they delivered it to my Aunt and Uncle's house (about 40miles from the store). 5 stars for service! 5 stars for quality and wide selection of items"

Trocadero de Tubac

★★★★☆ 3.5 (4)

"Trocadero do Tubac had all things folksy. Mostly nicely imported fabric clothing, bags, and Day of the Dead items. The owner was very welcoming and we had a nice conversation about her gallery."

La Cabana

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (7)

"Wow I can't believe La Cabaña doesn't have any yelp love! This spot is tucked inside the Mercado San Agustin. Specializing in Mexican antiques from pottery to home decor, flatware, and many more precious finds. If you're a collector of such items, definitely stop by this treasure trove. Then head to Presta and enjoy a nice cup of coffee!"

Carly Quinn Designs

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Love this place such beautiful tile work. Prices are comparable to what you are getting. Carly was very nice. Love that you get to meet the artist."

99 & Beyond

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"Went in there for decorations for a baby shower and spent a lot of money, over 120 and I get home with my receipt, thought it was pricey but I assumed it was just inflation, but I get home and see they charged me for miscellaneous items, I bought 20 items and 4 of them which are most expensive are the charges for items I didn't get. So if you spend money they assume you have it and steal what they can and all sales are final. They scammed me. Not going back."

K.G. Potters Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"One block off the main street drag through downtown Bisbee, this place is definitely worth a visit. Lots of unique, handmade dishware. If you insist on matched sets then this place isn't for you. However, if you like the eclectic uniqueness of slight differences in shading and pattern then check it out. They also have online ordering. The owner if very accommodating if a bit talkative.While they accept credit cards, you might want to be sure to have cash on hand as the machine was inoperable during my visit. I recommend checking it out on your next visit to Bisbee. You may just find something you didn't know you needed."

Mi Tierra Mexican Imports

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"Don't bother. Hours posted are inconsistent. Drove 40 minutes to get here at 11 on a Sunday and gates were locked, and phone calls were sent to voicemail."

Gila Valley Made

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"What a gem! This is a beautiful store! So many talented artists under one roof. My husband and I are new to Safford and weren't expecting to buy anything but once we walked into this store we couldn't help it...in fact we had to restrain ourselves and just pick one thing lol. They have everything...soaps and bath products, to food, to household decor, to clothes, to plants....just beautiful...shop local!"

La Sandia Tucson Pottery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (13) • $$

"I had a burro y un carro emergency and hoped Garden Center of Tucson would save the day. You see, a few years ago I purchased a good sized ceramic donkey with a cute wooden cart in Nogales, MX for my daughter for Christmas. She and her husband loved that thing and it had a place of honor in their front yard. Sadly some fools thought they had a better home for it and stole it one night not too long ago.So it's Christmas and I want to get them another but had no time to go south of the border so I started my search. Went to a few places and couldn't find anything that would do. L & I stopped in at Garden Center and didn't find what we wanted although they have some great pieces and a wide variety of artwork. But then a whole different kind of magic happened. We walked to the very back of the lot where some metal sculptures and rusty items were arranged. The idea of the ass and his wagon quickly flew out of my mind when I saw the perfect gift. I snatched it up (along with a great metal javelina) and a price was quickly negotiated for both pieces.Christmas morning arrived and I'm happy to say that my offspring was pleased. The funky, metal skeleton dog now adorned the BACK yard of her house. Garden Center has plenty of trinkets and yard art. I did fall in love with a giant ceramic black & white painted Catrina that I would kill to own but was beyond my price range. I'll be doing a lot more shopping at Garden Center though.But I guess a trip across the border still has to be scheduled for the burro."

Gypsy Sisters

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2) • $$

"Closed at 130 pm? No sign or reason why.Went back later and found out they are re-modeling. They really should have a sign up or something so people know."

K Newby Gallery

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"K Newby Gallery features some wonderful contemporary, artworks. They have small and large scale bronzes. Mixed media sculptures, and lots of paintings. There are several rooms to explore. Don't miss the outdoor sculpture garden as well. Outside parking is available."

Crystal Rhinestone Boutique

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This place was so prompt and pleasant I got all of my crystals in time to complete my last minute graduation cap. They know the importance of fast service and I will always be purchasing my rhinestones from here from now on. I had to order twice in a row from them and each time my order was met with the upmost importance and I really appreciated it. This is a business worth doing business with! They care about your order which makes me feel like they care about me! I loved my experience to say the least. :-)"

The Mosaic Guys

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Found a Groupon and came in with my niece to enjoy an afternoon of arts and crafts! David was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire class. We are newbies, so we needed the extra instruction. Others in the class were all so friendly, too. This little shop is in a small shopping center and nothing fancy, but has everything you need. Our seats were all set up for us with the necessary tools. Once you get started, you actually get the hang of it. There are plenty of samples to follow. We will definitely return and tell others about how much fun and stress-relieving it is!"

San Xavier Plaza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"Such POTENTIAL! On the weekend with the parking lot full of cars from visitors, only one indoor shop and one outdoor table was available. Empty stalls and closed buildings left it feeling like a ghost town, going out of business, leaving few options. Lost POTENTIAL. The open shop was great. It was small and tight but they have a lot of merchandise, some manufactured and some hand-crafted. The merchandise is beautiful."
