Mark will post his new creations there. Thanks for your support over the years!

the glassblowing art manipulate molten glass using two-thousand year old methods. We are just a short 8 block walk from the Algiers/Canal Street Ferry terminal through a bucolic neighborhood. Stroll the quiet streets of the second-oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. See our gorgeous houses and churches and stop for an adult beverage at one of our top-rated bar rooms. The Ferry does not take passenger cars anymore, although some GPSes will try and take you on it. If you want to drive to the studio, please call for directions. We are open M-F 10:00-5:00 with a lunch break 12:30-1:30. We are blowing glass from 10:00-4:00 M-F. Please call for Saturday hours.

Any glass enthusiasts/ gardeners out there? We have 8 large ceramic crucibles for sale! Yes, they are used and no longer can be useful in our studio, BUT, they can take on another life in your garden! They are almost bulletproof, much more sturdy than a cement planter this size.

So, the exciting announcement is that I am back in a "happy place"! I thought that almost 50 years of glassblowing should not go to waste, so I am blowing glass again a few times a month at YaYa Art Center. I have not blown glass in 9 months, which is crazy because I can only think of a handful of times that I have even taken off 9 days!
This means that I can do custom work again, and will start with some lighting that I need to do. After that, who knows! I will try to post pieces here and get new pieces up on the gallery website.
Thanks for continuing to follow Rosetree and the artwork that I make!

Happy Valentine's Day!Keep an eye out for an exciting announcement coming soon!

Just putting this out there one last time in case it was missed... ;) We would love to sell the building and studio as one turn-key entity.

Studio for sale!
After almost 50 years of glassblowing and 33 years in our wonderful rehabbed Art Deco movie theater, we have decided it was time to retire. If you are looking to set up a private studio, or a school, or give "Blow Your Own" experiences, or a combination of any or all of those, this is your place! In a great, quiet neighborhood just 8 blocks to the pedestrian ferry that goes to downtown New Orleans, you will get foot traffic to your gallery and if nurtured correctly, traffic from cruise ships and hotel visitors as well as locals are reasonable possibilities. Rosetree Glass Studio has a great reputation in our neighborhood and the region. We are looking for the right match to carry the tradition forward in their own name.
Highlights include:
Well-maintained #400 Stadelman-built moly furnace with new crucible and extra elements
3 benches with glory holes
5 functional annealers plus two large ones in stages of construction
Blowpipes/punties and some hand-tools
16" flat grinder plus wheels
2 gallery spaces
Over 7,000 square feet total with some original accoutrements including original Art Deco terrazzo floors
Turn-key set-up

Scene: The late-night lights are burning as the workshop is in highest production mode….
Head Elf: Santa, Santa, SANTA!!!!! Mrs. Claus said it’s almost Christmas and she is worried that everyone won’t get their presents this year.
Santa: I told Mrs Claus not to worry, everything is in control.
Head Elf: How is that? We are still behind in our numbers. There may be some good people who won’t get presents.
Santa: You’re worried too??? I’m just going to go down to Rosetree Blown Glass Studio and Gallery in Algiers Point! They have lots of hand-made art pieces in everyone’s price range, including ornaments for $22 and a gallery-wide SALE of 25% off EVERYTHING!!! They are open Christmas Eve from 10:00 until 3:00, so we can load the sleigh before our trip this year. This is their last sale before closing for their retirement, so we might even get some presents for next year!
Head Elf: You always have things under control!
Santa: Merry Christmas to all!!!! HO HO HO!!!
Scene: Fade to snow falling and elves cheering….
