We bought a beautiful lamp from this business. They have an amazing selection of unique items and the service was excellent. This lamp was a perfect addition to a table we purchased in Truckee. read more

Stix And Stones Gallery - Lamp. - Art Galleries Near Me - Calistoga, California

This store deserves no stars. Racism is so prominent here. My husband and I, both Filipino, walked in right behind a white couple today, 11/29/2024. I heard the 65-75 years old sales woman with the long white hair greet the white couple and make some small talk. She said nothing to us the entire time, even when we were literally standing less than 5 feet from her. She also made it a point to walk from the back of the store to the front just to tell the white couple good-bye before they walked out. We were right behind them and still nothing. Take your money elsewhere! I did! read more

My daughter lives in Atlanta and I was in this shop browsing and saw several small gift boxes that would have been a nice "something" from Calistoga. I was in the process of sending her a picture in a text asking her to pick the one she might like to give to her daughter. Suddenly a woman abruptly appeared from the back of the store and rudely told me I was "Welcome to purchase one..." telling me I should support the artist rather than take pictures. Her rude tone was very unpleasant and I turned and walked away never to return. There were other shops in town on the same street with much nicer shopkeepers to do business with. read more

Horrible customer service. The sales lady was busy talking when I walked in, after 5 minutes an older white lady walks in and she walks straight past me, does not acknowledge my presence at all and asks the lady if she needs help. When I told her that I also did not need help, she didn't apologize for her blatant racism and just continued to ignore me. The "gallery" was empty and lifeless. read more

Stix And Stones Gallery - Outside - Art Galleries Near Me - Calistoga, California

Was in from out of town and browsing around Napa and came across this cool little shop. The entire time the lady behind the counter was obviously quite put out that we were there, almost as if we didn't come in waiving a bag of money she wasn't interested. Anyway, we found a great little half wine barrel wine rack that we thought would be a perfect addition to our cellar. For $345 it was reasonably priced, so I inquired about shipping. She quote around $100, fair enough. I asked if there was a website so I could order it when I got home, and no website. They realize this is 2020 right? Ok, whatever, so I asked for a business card, this too is something they don't have. In 2020. She wrote down the details on a notepad for me. I asked if I could take a picture of it so I wouldn't forget to order it when I got home. Not only was that a hard no, but it was a snotty hard no. I mean, I'm going to buy it, why can't I get a photo? I understand not just going in and taking pictures willy-nilly but this was ridiculous. We were told how it was a one-of-a-kind, not to be found anywhere else and only available from them. That immediately got my back up because, again it's 2020, there's always Etsy where everyone who hand makes anything sells their wares. Low and behold, not only was that EXACT item on Etsy in great quantity but there are also dozens of varieties of it, all at the same or mostly lower prices. So, to the owner of this store: don't try to trick people in the digital age that you are so exclusive and maybe bend a little when you have someone willing to buy your stuff right there. Oh, and it's 2020, get a website, get business cards and employ people who actually treat customers with an ounce of respect. So, guess what, I just finished ordering two of these on Etsy, and the shipping was less than $100 too. One has to wonder, in 2020 when COVID has wrecked small businesses, how much would a $700 sale meant to a store located in a very high rent area of old Napa today? I don't feel bad, I still supported a small business, just not one who tries to play games with you, instead the small business that actually hand made these little gems (who is based in Napa by the way) got all those dollars in their pocket instead. Moral of the story: it's 2020, try harder. read more

This is truly unique store has something for everyone...we have purchased over the years many beautiful artisans creations....the glass work and metal sculptures are fabulous Can't recommend it enough read more

Stix and Stones won't break your bank, or your bones. They have reasonably priced artwork. If you want pieces for your home, this is the place to go. The people who work here are very friendly, helpful, and definitely not pushy. They're there for the customer, not the commission. If you like natural and Native American art, this is the Calistoga destination. One could say it's akin to Santa Fe's Indian Market, if it were contained in a small Napa Valley shop. It's a high-end gallery. If you're looking for basic souvenirs, this isn't the place to go. On the other hand, if you want something fancy to adorn your domicile, this is your kind of place. read more

This was one of the coolest stores in Calistoga in downtown. Carrying a wide selection of southwest Native American jewelry, art, weave and bead work, clothing, and more. Just a great place in town that brings a part of the southwest to California. I've traded with Stix and Stones for many years, and always found great original Native American jewelry and art work at fair prices. You have to travel to the high desert yourself to do better. The owners who travel to the southwest regularly to acquire items for their store, have been a part of the downtown Calistoga landscape for decades, and it's always fun and interesting to shop, look and buy from them. I can't speak of the employees as I always deal with the owners. Whenever you find yourself in downtown and you're looking for a little fun place to shop that's got some great native American jewelry, art and other things, this is the place. It won't break your bank, the owners make you feel at home and welcome, and you will almost surely find something special to remember your last trip to the wine country. 00113 read more

I visited Calistoga a couple weeks ago and went in this gallery..it was beautiful but the owner of this shop the older lady with white hair and the horrible customer service- like you can tell she is not cut out for customer service..she won't tell you any info on any of the artists! Nothing!! She will cover up the artist's signatures or stamp with the name of the gallery's sticker covering it up. Then she follows everyone around pushing info about everything we look at like lady get awayyyyyy my lord and you making your poor assistant do that as well. She was a curly hair brunette and so friendly and amazing with people like she was a natural and the owner would passive aggressively say things to her in front of Customers it was so rude. And what bothered me the most was when I asked the brunette a question and she didn't know she had mentioned she was newly hired, but when she asked her boss she was so annoyed and tried to make the new girl look stupid- my husband and I were uncomfortable and felt so bad for that young woman. You could tell she was uncomfortable working with that woman and she wanted to cry. There was another group of women waiting my us in line to get rung up and we heard them say how disgusted they were in what they witnessed...beautiful store too bad the artists do all that work just to hidden to people. The owner shouldn't be in a gallery she needs to learn some manners and get the chip off her shoulder. I only gave this store a 2 because the young brunette was so nice..she needs to run I wouldn't work there read more

Great items to pick from at a very reasonable price. Staff is very friendly and help you with any questions that you may have. If in the area you really need to stop and shop read more

I was so disappointed. I had walked past and noticed this lovely glass vase In the window. I had bought pieces there before and was looking forward bringing home this beauty. Very unfortunate to have the sales person just unknowledgeable and not caring enough to want to help because she was doing inventory. All I asked was who the artist was. Her reply I don't know. And she let me walk right out never to return again. read more

I unfortunately went into this store while shopping downtown Calistoga. The lady greeted me in an awkward exchange and then hovered around me. I stopped to look at the candles in the middle of the store. Just regular looking paraffin candles in a pillar shape. I noticed they were $90 for three small-medium sized candles. I thought they might be scented. So I picked one up to smell it. That's when I got scolded for touching the candle. I was told they weren't samples and other people would purchase those and wouldn't want them used.... I guess by me picking it up to look at it it's now used. She went on to explain that they were special candles to possibly justify the outrageous pricing or to reinforce that shouldn't touch them. But really her explain just further reinforced they were under-wicked paraffin candles that will eventually tunnel. She actually told me they would tunnel as a selling point. The exchange was rude and condescending. The explanation about the candles added to the absurdity. I'm glad I spent my money elsewhere downtown. Lots of other great stores and friendly salespeople up and down the Blvd. read more

The items for sale were really nice. They have glass blown pumpkins. The woman working there was coughing and sniffling....um COVID. Lady, stay home, please! read more

I was in Stix and Stones on Monday, November 20, 2017 and my friend and I were helped by a wonderful gal named Sommer. She was extremely helpful and friendly and made our shopping experience very enjoyable. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I visited this shop while on vacation in WA and had seen these absolutely beautiful lazy-susans, they were pricey but beautiful and unique. Because I was on vacation, I'd have to have it shipped, it was pretty heavy and large. I looked through them all and picked the one I loved the most, there was only one. I asked if there was more and was told that what was there was. Because I had just arrived in town I didn't purchase it right away, I walked around town and came back to the shop and couldn't find it. According to the clerk, unfortunately, It was sold before I returned to purchase it, I was so bummed and inquired (again) if they had any more, they stated they didn't....everything was on the floor. We talked for a while about how beautiful the artistry was and how bummed I was there were no more. The clerk said, well let me just go make sure we don't have any in the back and when she returned low and behold there was just one more in back ! I was overjoyed but I never got a chance to look it over. We finished the transaction and I had it shipped home. When I returned home and saw the piece it had an area of discoloration, like sanding, and green paint smeared from the painted area into the plain wood area and then it had been sealed. Now, I believe they knew there was an issue with this and sold it to me anyway, that's why it was in the back. I contacted them and they offered me $20.00 off, but this was an item they could not in good consciousness resell. I chose to return it, they asked for pictures, I sent them and I requested the shipping charges also be refunded for the return. When she received it she stated the issues on mine were like that on all the others...LOL WHAT ?? Completely denies there is an issue with this piece. So be aware they will try to sell it once again. I have had to contact them numerous times just to see if they had received it and if I was refunded, including the shipping on the return. They have continually dropped the ball and not sent me the information of the return, stating they have been too busy. I finally get the receipt and the shipping had not been refunded, that means I have paid approx. $80.00 in shipping and $169.00 for the item, Since this was an item that was damaged I do not expect to pay for a return. I emailed them again days ago and as usual had no reply. I do not find them easy to work with and have doubts in their integrity. I will not do business with these people, they put artists and small business to shame. My experience has been horrible and this is still not resolved going on 2 months now. read more

Wonderful store wonderful people. The one star reviews are simply those who want to buy direct from artist, you know people like that, cut out middle man. Or try to take pictures of the art to duplicate. Does not work in the art world. All I can say is ,don't listen to nay sayers , check it out for yourself , you won't regret it. read more

We received the bracelet in the mail on Sept 13th. Thank you! We appreciate you completing our purchase. Looks great and the size is perfect. read more

This is a lovely store, but they are not honest. It is not that the sales staff doesn't know anything about the artists. They have the artist cards in the shop, but the owner refuses to provide information on the artists unless you purchase the item. Her policy is to have employees lie to the customers and state that they do not have the information. In addition to asking employees to lie to the customers this gallery owner is crippling the artists that are providing her an income. Galleries are supposed to support their emerging artists and foster their career. This owner is selfishly denying the artists any exposure. I am absolutely in love with a piece at this store and would buy it in a hot second if the owner was not a detriment to the artists. read more

Great items, great stuff. They have a really interesting collection of things for sale. The artists they work with are generally local, everything is high quality, and the owners are super nice. We have bought two items, and have been very happy with the very distinctive wine rack and chairs. The store is quite fun just to browse as well. read more

Stix and Stones won't break your wallet... Feeling impregnated by a buffalo...burger, we left the near by local restaurant Sarafornia and Michiru and I desperately needed to walk off a great meal. Calistoga is the place to do it. Just right next door is the Stix & Stones Gallery. Under the sign it says "The Down to Earth Gallery" and it was just that. Unpretentious, they had a whole bunch of really cool stuff worth taking a look at. Thus far on this trip I had little time to pick up any souvenirs out side of t-shirts and sweatshirts. I by t-shirts and sweatshirts from just about everywhere I go. I keep thinking some on will say "Oh I see you have been to Pismo Beach," or wherever the t-shirt advertises. Nobody ever does. It is kinda of sad. I think they are just jealous, or lack the courage to say "Oh, I see you have been to Pismo Beach, how did you like the clams?" They are probably fearful I could come back with, "The only friken thing I did not see in Pismo Friken Beach is a friken Clam"...but I am just not that type of person. I would not even think of something like that. I would probably thank them for revitalizing my belief that wearing a t-shirt from a place I enjoyed and visited made a difference in this world. Come to think of it I am going to make a t-shirt up that says simply "I have really never been to any place you would give a damn about so there!" Stix & Stones had just about everything else but t-shirts so I compromised and bought the closest thing I could find, a handcrafted thingy to hold my various and artful chopsticks. Michiru bought one because she like the way I displayed my chopsticks at home...in a wooden bamboo thingy. However she bought a handcrafted thingy at Stix & Stones for her chopsticks so I felt the necessity to upgrade my chopstick thingy to one similar to hers. So we now both have matching, handcrafted thingies for our chopsticks. Just got the larger one and they only had one left and it was about half the size of Michiru's. So her Chopstick thingy was bigger than mine. Oh well, I can always cut my chopsticks in half or perhaps shorten my fingers its all relative. Stix and Stones is a must. Hard to find anything other than a bottle of wine or wedge of cheese in the other gift shops. It really is a great and very different place. read more

Very elegant and comfortable gallery. A warm ambiance envelopes you the minute you walk in. Staff is friendly and helpful. The quality of the merchandise is exceptional; prices are reasonable. Whatever your budget, there is something here for you. read more

While the shop is filled with many interesting and beautiful things, the unwillingness of the owner to share information with would-be customers is both appalling and a disservice to the artists. When pressed, the owner admitted that they do not give out the artists' names because they do not want potential customers looking at the pieces in her store and trying to find them elsewhere for a better price! While I can appreciate her predicament as a small business owner, I want to know about an artist before I spend 1800 dollars on a piece of his/her work. In an age of the informed and conscientious consumer, she is not doing herself any favors by withholding information. We were so disgusted with her attitude that we left without making a purchase. read more

I am giving this store 1 star bc it is a very beautiful store. Full of unique items. The owner has good taste. The staff was very polite. We bought a hand blown glass pen. I would give this store 5 stars except one thing really bothered me. I asked the employees who the artist were for a couple items. They did not know. No employee knew in the store about any artist. They only said they were local. Maybe from the coast was one vague answer. Funny was one of the artists I knew and they were from Arcata. Is that local? I guess. I wanted something but I wanted to know who the artist was... I felt like the employees should know bc they should take interest in their work. The artists should be acknowledged out of respect for the work. The owner should teach the employees as a part of the job. It was unbelievable. I liked the quaint, cuteness of Calistoga but found it snobby and elitist. Actually I was informed the owner knows the names of the owner but will only tell you once you buy a piece. What a disgusting store owner. She fears of you know the artist you won't buy from her and she won't get the business. As an artist and a curator this is a foul practice. The people who sell this person their art should be furious. I've never known a curator in my life and lived in the arts my entire life who would hide the names of the artist from the public. That basically makes her a misrepresentative of the items in her store. Taking the claim of their art instead of giving it to the artist. Gross. read more

I had the same experience as ellie g. I really liked their pieces but no one could tell me anything about the artists, except that they are "local". Which really is sad for the artists who have their work there. I would give more stars if they represented their artists and craftsmen better because it is a great place otherwise. read more

I can't believe there are not other reviews on here! My husband and I are in town (we think Calistoga is an adorable romantic getaway) staying at the Solage. We took our bikes downtown and just happened to walk into this gallery. We purchased gorgeous original wall art... although I seriously wanted to buy half of the store. The owner has VERY reasonable prices and even offered us a small discount for purchasing two! We are really excited to bring our little treasures home to hang. Highly recommend checking Stix and Stones out... amazing stuff in there! read more

The store is lovely with interesting and wonderful items BUT the sales lady with the long gray hair, who was in the back by the counter, has a horrific cough and kept it up throughout the time I were there. About two months earlier, I wanted to browse and the same thing happened. I go in, hear this extremely loud cough that doesn't quit ,and turn around in fear of getting her illness and it's so annoying! I do realize she's ill but either she should stay home or wear a mask. I do, however, hope that she gets the help she needs but I think she's scaring customers away!!! read more

Purchased a beautiful eagle woodwork on 2/10/15... requested information about the artist who the owner Diane mentioned is one of her vendors. I left my tele # and email for follow up. I've been eager to learn more about the artist and his other woodwork available. So, called again on 2/22/15...owner not available, out of town but staff said the message reminder would be shared with her. No response. I called again 3/4/15 spoke to staff Lynette with again, " owner out of town". Left same info and she assured me she would take care of it. As of today 3/9...NO RESPONSE! A friend of mine suggested that perhaps product is imported (China,Mexico,?) and I've been scammed being told the vendor is" local". Store is full of unique and nice items...Diane was happy as a clam to ring up my expensive purchase but extremely poor people skills prevail with her and staff lying to me. I'm leery of "local" and read other Yelp reviews agreeing that artists seem to be unknown. Are we being scammed?! Buyer Beware! read more

What a neat place. All their art is American made. They have everything from cute little inexpensive stuff to really beautiful pricey pieces. I wanted so much more than we bought! The help was perfect, offered to take the pieces I was interested in out of the case then she moved away and let us discuss. If you're in Calistoga stop by and browse this unique store. read more

An amazing store, filled with things you NEED but don't realize it. I didn't buy anything on my trip 5/7/11, but can't stop thinking about the items I want and intend to purchase soon. The furniture crafted from wine barrels is one of a kind and very attractive. The artwork is beautiful and unique. Can't wait to go back! read more

Awesome collection of very unique and one of a kind artwork. Great customer service. A must see when in Calistoga.

What a wonderful place to shop! My husband and I were in Calistoga last week and happened to stroll into Stix and Stones Gallery. We were wonderfully surprised by the efficient, polite service from the young female clerk. We had the opportunity to meet one of the displaying artisans. Everything in this shop is of high quality and artistry. We recommend this shop to all who are interested in the beauty and uniqueness of top quality American Artisans' work. read more

same experience. wanted to buy a $5000 piece but they won't tell me anything. they acted very sketchy. Even the neighboring stores said they weren't honest. If you are going to buy a piece at any gallery, people are friendly and want to tell you more, not act like they are hiding something. its a huge turnoff and frustrating. read more
