is a cooperative craft shop and gallery located in St. Johnsbury’s downtown district. Our mission is to present, promote and sell of the work of contemporary Vermont artists and artisans. Recognized as a Vermont State Craft Center, the Guild has grown to over juried 100 members.
The Guild fosters an atmosphere of warmth, accessibility and engagement with all of our customers and exhibiting artists.
A group of seven local artisans united to establish a venue to show and sell their work, as well as other artisans in St. Johnsbury and the Caledonia County area.
Originally adopting the name Kingdom Handi-Works, the group grew to 10 people, and now proudly features the work of more than 100 juried Vermont members. New talents are always welcome to join.
Focused on traditional crafts married to a contemporary world, we show a wide selection of handcrafted work in a variety of styles and techniques including basket weaving, clay, fiber, jewelry, glass, metal, paper, and wood. Fine art is included in an assortment of media, including oil, watercolor, prints, photography, and mixed media.
In 2003 we added The Backroom Gallery as an exhibition space featuring solo or collaborative art exhibitions.
View our Backroom Gallery page to see what is showing now — exhibits change every six weeks. To begin our 3rd decade, we will have two retrospective exhibitions celebrating “Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow.”
