Welcome to the
Verksted Gallery
in Poulsbo, Washington
The Verksted Gallery is one of the oldest
cooperative art galleries in the state of Washington, and was
established in 1987 by two local artists, Mary Heffner and Elizabeth
Haney. Ms. Heffner is still an artist in the gallery, and enjoys
sharing her watercolors and "whimsical" calligraphy with customers from
around the world.
While visiting our site, be sure to take a
Gallery Tour, and
make plans to visit one day. You're sure to be amazed at the variety of
art created by such a fine selection of artists from the area. On this
site you'll find watercolors, silver jewelry, photography, textile art,
painted rocks, pottery, Norwegian bentwood boxes, oil paintings, mixed
media paintings, colored pencil work, Polaroid image transfers, wood
turned pieces, Rosemaling, felt art, stained glass, pastels, porcelain
dolls, woven wheat, and much more!
Verksted Artists
are considered "members" of the gallery and
help to run day-to-day operations, including complete management of the
gallery and many hours on the floor. When you visit you're meeting the artists, not employees who don't know about the art. You may even find someone demonstrating their handy-work
in the store. Each month we feature several artists in a special
display, so visitors can stay up to date with new works. Because of the
wonderful family-style atmosphere and low overhead, Verksted is well
known for reasonable prices and incredible values for original
hand-crafted artwork.
