I bought some ceramic coffee mugs, that Dave, the owner, who was very nice and helpful and his wife…read moremakes these mugs, were a hit when I brought back to Chicago! Could not remember the name of store and after much investigative work found it, left a message and Dave was very kind to call me back and help me order some more.

One of the hippest, funkiest art galleries I've found. I'm kind of dorky and a little square, so I…read moreworried they might look down their noses at me in this too-cool-for-school, hipster-trendy establishment, but the folks working here could not have been nicer. I was encouraged to browse, told about the pieces in shop, and had an interesting conversation with one of the owners about his passion for his craft. Ponshop is owned by husband-and-wife artist duo Gabriel and Scarlett Pons (making the gallery's name that much cuter). Scarlett creates the unique ceramics on display: spouted bowls, blossom-shaped dishes, watering pitchers with what looks like Bob Marley's likeness stamped on the sides, decorative vases, and even hand puppets made from clay and fabric. Gabriel works in mixed-media, putting prints, photographs, and paint on wood, or designing one-of-a-kind skateboards. Along with showcasing their own art, the two feature the works of many other local artists from tee-shirts and jewelry, to plush toys, reusable gift "paper", sculpture, and even soaps. The art in Ponshop is provocative and avant-garde, but the whole place feels down-to-earth and welcoming. I really enjoyed poking around and purchased what I've since dubbed a "scarf-lace" since I'm not really sure *what* it is: a many-looped-and-knotted scarf/necklace made from soft jersey material in heather gray and carnation pink stripes. I've never seen anything like it, but out-of-the-ordinary and pleasantly perplexing seems to be the name of the game at Ponshop.

I am artist but kind of lost living in va I am in search of a place to display , and sell but this gallery was patient, and so very kind and helpful. I can not wait to go to see some of the galleries again, but have walking issues. I will get there and enjoy the total experience of Old Town whether i fit or not. My sons both went to Mary Washington and I loved the entire place .Thanks for the phone call, and that made me feel so happy.
