Welcome to Ursel's Web, a gallery of fine and local art and crafts, custom framing, and unique gifts, specializing in German gifts.

We have several gift shows during the year: an Easter show, a summer pottery show, and the gallery-transforming Christmas show.

Regarding custom framing, we understand that well-framed art is like a cherished memory; both should last a life time. This is why we are celebrating 45 years of happy customers. Our goal is to provide you with expert design, helpful information, and of course a beautiful finished product.

We invite you to pay us a visit to meet our friendly and knowledgeable staff and see what we have to offer.

Free estimates are gladly given. Corporate Planning is available, too.
For over 40 years, our customers have trusted us to frame their valued pieces. All of your work is framed on location by Ursel and her helpful and friendly staff. We have over a thousand frame styles to chose from, cut to any size for your framing needs.

Fair Trade at Ursel's Web
Do you guys know about Fair Trade? Ursel and I learned all about it at the Atlanta Gift Show this year (see details below), and we decided to bring it to Ursel‘s Web.

We have embroidered, felted wool from Nepal, paper bead ornaments from Uganda, carved and painted gourds from Peru, and Ursel‘s favorite, metal animal sculptures from Zimbabwe. Please stop in and see a whole table of handmade works from Fair Trade artisans.

Come by soon - we have a limited number of pieces. If our customers love these items and love supporting Fair Trade artisans, we will get more at Christmastime.

As always, we thank you for supporting small businesses and handmade items.
Fair Trade Federation companies are committed to advancing:
​ 


Members know that trade is a positive force for improving living standards, health, education and the environment in their communities.

Ursel’s Web is proud to be working with Fair Trade artisans in Peru, Nepal, Kenya, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
