jonathon bancroft-snell gallery

Really great place to find that special something or view that special something that is not main street normal. Really nicely done up for the holidays; this is a fun spot to visit when downtown in the winter.

If you are checking out the art scene in London, this ceramic gallery should be at the top of your list. As good as anything I've seen in Vancouver or Toronto for its variety and quality. The artists shown here are from all across Canada. This past Christmas they had a sale of coffee mugs produced by many of their artists. It was hard to pick just one - so I bought three. Then I went back and bought two more. I told myself they were presents for friends. They are all in my cupboard at home.

Very interesting art but crazy overbearing obnoxious owner / manager does not make up for the works of art. I would rather look at items online on ebay than deal with this guy again.

We had a day to spend in London and made a stop at Jonathon's. The pieces on display were positively fantastic. Jonathon was a wonderful host spending 45 minutes showing us around the gallery, telling us the stories of the artists, and explaining many of the processes used in the creation of the pieces on display. Further, he introduced us to London giving thoughts and recommendations on restaurants and other things to see.

We stopped in this afternoon, and were delighted with both the gorgeous works on display and the warm welcome back from Jonathon. We were also very pleased to find another piece by an artist we like from among Jonathon's wide ranging collection. If you're in downtown London, don't miss this gallery!

A visit starts here with the owners warm greeting and so many unique pieces of art that catch your eye. Often it ends with a glass of wine and a discussion of the art and artists in gallery. This is a large gallery , although it does not appear so from the outside. Presentation is accessible given the medium (many ceramic and related) which allows interaction for patrons.The prices are not for negotiation as they believe the artists should be fairly compensated and they take only a small fee. This is honestly a joy to visit, art from many locales, across many approaches and uniformly highest quality. Don't miss this if you are anywhere near London Ontario.

A truly amazing ceramics gallery! Jonathon and Brian really make you feel welcome. My friend and I were so thrilled to see such gorgeous works of art (and the ceramics are gorgeous as well).

A gallery full of beautiful ceramics. Jonathon himself is so welcoming and very knowledgeable, it is a real pleasure to visit. I recommend it as a must see.

Doesn't look too much from the outside, but its a genuine first rate ceramics gallery with items from $20 into the many thousands; and is it seductive stuff! make sure your credit cards are padlocked back at your apartment because it would be easy to indulge yourself on some of the fine range of pieces from across Canada they have in-store.Beyond the merchandise, the manager was very helpful with tips and advice for a new visitor to London like myself. Some galleries give off that "are you sure you should be in here sir?" vibe, but not here. A pleasure to visit.

When we walked in we were not welcomed by the three workers that were there - they sat in the middle of the room and chatted away about other things. Even when we walked past them we weren't even acknowledged. The place was a big disaster (maybe they are undergoing renovations!?)... not a lot of stuff was labeled with information, just the cost. It was a very odd and unenjoyable experience.

A wonderful art gallery. A great and enthusiastic owner. Great works of art, especially in porcelain. Take a walk downtown and enjoy!

When a friend or family member visits London there some places I take them to as "must see" destinations and Jonathon Gallery is definitely one of them.Jonathon himself is a wonderful ambassador for the city and for all of the artists he represents. I've been to the gallery many times and although I love to linger, I know I haven't seen it all. And then it changes, and I start all over again! It's a real gem in our downtown and visiting reminds me of the importance of beauty and of art.

The real treasure in this beautiful gallery is Jonathon himself! Browse on your own, if you prefer, or treat yourself by engaging with and learning from Jonathon. Either way, you can't go wrong here!

The owner was friendly and engaging and passionate about art. The current show had a whole series of huge vibrant paintings about the life cycle of a leaf. Stunning. There were a series of ceramic cameras that looked like wild wonderful alien machines. I love this place. The wooden bowls from a local artist where the best I have ever seen. The place is 90 percent ceramics, but there is other art from the best of local artists. Definitely worth a visit.

If you have any interest in the visual arts, this gallery in London (Ont) is a must see. The gallery reps not only the best ceramic artists in the country but also features a great space for showcasing art.
