Verksted Gallery

There is something for everyone in this shop. I believe they have been here for over 25 years. Best place to shop local.

Not the nicest gallery in town, some nice things, some too kitschy. Biggest complaint; often when I go in, the people behind the counter are too busy talking to each other to greet a customer. Often, they complain about something or other the entire time I’m in the shop.

A few doors down from Front Street Gallery is Verksted Gallery, another artists’ coop. As usual, I was captivated by the jewelry, but I found many items here that I wanted to purchase for family and friends. It might sound silly, but I even came back another day to purchase a second «leather mouse» filled with catnip for my sister because the first one I gave to our hosts was such a hit! Their three cats loved the toy and were rolling all over the rug and each other to get to it. There were cool illustrated cat prints, owls painted on rocks and sitting on pieces of wood, pretty glass plates, and more. I gave my brother and his wife a house-​warming gift from Verksted Gallery, and they said they absolutely loved it. The folks working in this gallery are super nice, too!

This is a co-​op. The work is pretty average for the most part with a couple of exceptional artists. This co-​op has been here for a long time and is one of the oldest galleries in Poulsbo.
