Art Galleries in Chico, CA

“Orient & Flume looks like it has been around since the 70s'. If you like glass vases and other items you will love this place. It is not at all fancy. The work is what you want to see. If you don't like glass items you will be bored. We were not bored for a second.

What we really loved was the man who may be the owner who knows everything about hand blown glass. I love glass vases. They also have glass nick knacks, not for me, but maybe you.

Orient & Flume produces fine art glass. All their work is signed. They have iridescent and crystal clear glass. The vases are stunning. Take care of them, they are expensive.

Nationally acclaimed for its excellence in design since 1972, they have won some awards and may even be in a gallery or two, I am not sure.

I just know that the service was great. I got a wonderful vase and am a happy camper.”

“On vacation in Chico, stopped in to see Satava's glass studio. What a treat, we were lucky to see the glassblowers creating new pieces on site the day we visited! It didn't take long before we found a few pieces that me just had to purchase. The staff was very helpful answering any questions that we had about how the glass was blown to create the jellyfish. We made our purchase, they shipped it back home for us so that we wouldn't have to carry it along for the rest of our vacation. Our glass arrived the day after we returned home, perfectly packaged, handled with care, and now displayed with pride.”

“I trusted them with an old picture of my grandmother that badly needed repair, reframing and protection from sun. We spent time selecting the perfect border and frame and the result was beautiful. My husband just commissioned a new piece of art and we will take it here for framing.”

“I find the art at the art center causal. The art represents the Chico community as it should. Wide range of art and still levels. It is a monthly walk through for me. No one to look over your shoulder to sell you something. Good classes are offered and the staff is very friendly and helpful.”
