solace studios fine handcrafts

Art/Artisan products; some beautiful fabrics, handmade leather items, handmade gift items, funky metal animals, a lot of other neat stuff.

We enjoyed browsing through this shop that has quite a variety of unique items... jewelry, handbags, scarfs, capes, pottery, glassware, etc. The jewelry is a bit overpriced but the glassware prices of reflective of what one expects to pay for high quality art work in big city shops. The shop owner as well as her beautiful dog are very friendly... both might greet you as you arrive & then you'll be left alone to browse. We wouldn't have known about this place if it hadn't been included on the video of local shops that runs on the TV channel through the Massanutten resort. This is not an artisan co-op but the inventory is made up of artisans from the area as well as some from Washington. The items are definitely NOT mass produced from overseas. Worth a visit!

I love art shops, craft shows, & unique pieces I would never be able to make. This shop has really unique, nice gifts for sale. The owner is pleasant enough. I think she was stressed when I brought my children in the store, even though they aren't 'grabby' children. I went in with the intention of buying a broach for my grandmother, but couldn't justify the prices. I waited until the Poquoson Seafood Festival & was able to find something very nice & more reasonably priced. Nice for window shopping without children.

This is a art and gift shop owned and operated by a true artist. One must visit if staying in or near Elkton VA

This is a beautiful studio/shop featuring many artists' work (ceramic, jewelry, clothing, scarves, etc.) in addition to the owner's marbled art on leather and other items. I spent several hours browsing and buying and I'm sure I didn't see everything tucked away in this lovely shop. There are beautiful leather handbags, wallets and leather accessories all reasonably priced. It's a hidden gem of a shop in the Shenandoah Valley and the owner, Barb, is very friendly and helpful. She recommended other shops in the area plus restaurants. I like it especially because it is Made in the USA.

Found the perfect gift for a friend. So many beautiful and whimsical items to see. The owner was very nice and helpful.

Stopped in on a hot Friday afternoon and was delighted at the local items for sale, mainly the artwork and leather goods. Didn't buy anything on this trip but will be back or order online as I prefer to purchase local goods. You need about 30-45 minutes to carefully peruse this shop and the wares and I hope you enjoy the sampling of the local artwork I shot while in the store. If you are staying at Massanutten Resort, you really must check out this unique gift shop.

Great shop with hand made items not found at your local junk stores or Walmart. Very unique items for yourself or gifts. Some items are a bit pricey but they are the ones with dust on them. Take your time and look and you will find some good buys.

I really enjoyed the style and originality of the items in the store. I visited the store twice during my week stay at Massanutten. I purchased a few items and will order more from the store online. It's definitely a place to shop when you are in the area. The staff was nice and very helpful during both visits to the store.

You'll find over 150 different US artists showcased in this one of a kind gallery. Every time I go I see something new and beautiful. Lots of great gifts....something for everyone in every price range. Love, love, love this shop!

Find a gift for the person that has everything. Most items are a one of a kind, every item unique. Set aside a little extra time to browse since there is soooo much cool stuff.
