Louisiana Pottery is housed in a restored Acadian style home, c.1830.

The home was originally located in St. James, LA and was occupied by the

Schexnayder family.

Louisiana Pottery is proud to offer such a great selection of pottery -- 

from truly functional wares

to highly sculptured, fine art pieces. 

"Playing in the Mud" classes

are also available for adults or children

The adults classes are in the form of a 4-week session.

(1 day per week, and a 3-hour class each day)

Children only come for 2 classes - the first class is "building" and the 2nd class (2 weeks later) is for "glazing."

Other specialty shops that are located in the Cajun Village are:  The Coffee House, Boniblu Candles,

Cajun Village Antiques, The Cajun Shop, and So Timeless

For a stroll back into history, visit the "Tractor Barn."

On display are antique tractors, farm implements and tools, and a blacksmith forge rebuilt with it's original fire bricks.

And, just 3 miles down the road lies

"The Cabin Restaurant"

The building itself began as one of the ten original slave dwellings of the Monroe Plantation.  It is approximately 150 years old.  According to Al Robert (the owner), "Our goal is to preserve some of the local farming history, serve meals typical of the River Road tradition, and make your visit a relaxed and memorable one."
