Their work was impeccable, and the woman who helped me at the front desk (she gave off "owner" vibes, but I don't know) was an absolute delight and was very thorough in her questions about how I wanted the work to be completed. I was extremely happy with both their service and their work. Well done, and thank you.

What a great find this little artists' co-op is! When husband, Moms, MIL and I pulled up to Bogati…read moreBodega Winery, I heard a little gasp. "I know that place!" Moms exclaimed, pointing to this charming art gallery occupying half of the same building as the winery. Turns out Pops -- a woodturner -- knows Tom Boley, one of Gateway Gallery's resident woodturners, and Moms and Pops have been out to visit before (the woodturning world is small, my friends, hard as that is to believe). Naturally, we had to pay a visit...*after* a wine tasting, of course. GG is an artists' cooperative, where the artists -- in this case all local -- come together to create, staff, and manage the gallery. The pieces span a huge range of techniques: gorgeous fiber wraps and shawls, handcrafted silver jewelry, fused glass, ceramics and pottery, digital photography, pen-and-ink drawings, acrylic painting, weavings. The place is *packed* -- tastefully -- with beautiful bits and baubles. We browsed quite some time. Not only is there art for every taste, there's art for every budget. I fell in love with the acrylics and oils of Kaarin Nelson, whose paintings incorporate a "cheerful color palette" and "playful line." I really wanted the 20"x20" painting of a robin in a radish patch, which I thought was a steal at $175. Instead I decided to save a few pennies and went with a 6"x6" of a rosy pink, chubby pig for $30. I was already in love with it when the gentleman pulled it down off the wall for me and showed me the title of the work is "Some Pig." The "Charlotte's Web" nod pushed that painting right over the top for me. Gateway Gallery is the kind of shop I wish were closer to home. But the fact that it's nestled comfortably in Loudoun County's wine country makes it a convenient diversion after (before....or during....) vineyard jaunts.

Pricing here is fantastic, in comparison with other shops in the area and some online sites I follow. I usually stop in here first if I'm looking for something specific...and the cool part is, that if he doesn't have what I looking for, he can definitely get it. The social media accounts, especially Instagram, keep me in the loop about sales and rare finds. The owner goes to a lot of trouble in selecting the pieces he puts in the store, collecting beautiful specimens from gem shows around the country. I feel like there's always something new to learn about and observe when I go in, plus he has crystal books that help me understand about the different metaphysical properties of each stone. I think the owner is one of the most engaged and friendly folks I've ever met, so I'm not sure what these other reviews are talking about.

I strongly recommend them over buying online - support your local businesses, so when your wheel breaks down you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars just for the shipping to get it repaired far away!

I'm really looking forward to picking up our pottery pieces in a week. I will treasure them forever!
