Visitors to SugarWood Gallery are greeted by one of the eleven Maine WoodNet members who own and share the daily gallery operation. It all begins as you open the door and smell the clean, crisp Balsam Fir scent from the locally made hand sewed pillows. A wide array of imaginative furniture constructed from Apple wood, 150 year old architecturally salvaged Pine, live-edge Cherry, Bird’s eye Maple, and driftwood will certainly make you feel like you have stumbled into an enchanted forest. Adding to the delight are art quilts, stained glass creations, ceramics, pottery and lamps for every room in your house, cottage and office.

Opened November 7, 2001 SugarWood Gallery was designed to assist small artisans who were finding it difficult to make and market their unique products. “It really has been a remarkable success story,” said Chris Krauss, Coordinator of Maine WoodNet and director of the SugarWood Gallery. “One of the best things about this position is that you get to help people realize their dreams. Individually, very few of these artisans could afford retail space and successfully market their products. By pulling together, each member business has been able to make their products and sell them locally in a beautiful gallery setting, it’s such a success that in the first two years we’ve surpassed our greatest expectations.”

Fast forward to March 2004 and the Gallery has already seen a major expansion and is busy planning for another addition that will be completed in June. SugarWood Gallery has been a beacon of hope for the craft community. Fifty artisans are now showing, and selling their products to an appreciative, loyal clientele. As a customer was overheard saying, “I haven’t been excited about furniture for a long time.”
