Marden Point Designs 

Colorful children's clothes designed to fit growing kids for as long as possible.

 

I learned to sew over 20 years ago, taught by my mother who was a professional seamstress. Over the years, I've enjoyed creating everything from blankets to bags, but with the births of my two children, I've mainly focused on creating colorful, comfortable, long-lasting children's clothing. I design my clothes to fit for as long as possible, using straps with multiple snaps and wrist and ankle cuffs. I use a variety of fabrics, including upcycled merino and cashmere sweaters. Many of her items are sewed on an antique Singer Featherweight machine that is almost 90 years old and still works perfectly.

I am mainly self-taught but have taken a number of classes at The Furniture Institute of MA and North Bennet St. School.

The process of design really excites me. A collaboration between me (designer) and you (wearer) gives me the ultimate design challenge of bringing life and joyful expression to work that’s cohesive, well-made, and comfortable to wear. I received a BFA from the Art Institute of Boston with a concentration in painting and sculpture. I have come to jewelry design later in life after having spent more than 30 years as a self-employed graphic designer. A lifetime of experience working in a variety of fine art and craft disciplines (landscape painting, ceramics, quilting, fine woodworking and graphic design) have all informed the passion I feel doing this work.

Dinochick Pottery by Stephanie Timmerman

Unique ceramics, both functional and sculptural.

I am a multidisciplinary artist, being equally at home working in clay, photography or fiber arts. I have a background in science, so my work often incorporates close observations of the natural world and focuses on different chemical processes. Clay's ability to be formed in a three-dimensional space and the rigors of successfully completing difficult pieces are a source of great joy for me.

Functional pottery and upcycle materials/objects

I've been a crafter, hobbyist, maker my entire life. Creating something out of nothing is so rewarding. When covid hit in 2020, it afforded me some extra time to finally dabble in something I have been wanting to do since 2011. I finally found time to take a pottery class which led to another and another. 3 years later, I'm still growing, still taking classes, still building on the foundations I have learned from the teachers at the Clay School and my peers who support and encourage me. I make functional, calm stoneware pottery and upcycle materials/objects whenever possible. My neutral palette complements what is going on versus compete.

Sew Envious

Handmade zippered makeup bags, book sleeves, coffee cozies, crossbody bags, infinity scarves, key fobs, cork earrings, fun felt catnip toys, baby gifts and more! Plus delicious hot Vanilla Chai tea mix.

My mom used to drag me to the fabric store when I was younger and I hated it. It was SO boring. Yet, here I am, many years later - spending hours on Etsy looking for the coolest fabric I can find. I love finding funky fabric that makes the best functional gifts. I started sewing on a hand-me-down sewing machine about 10+ years ago and I try to cut fabric, iron it, sew it whenever I get a spare minute between working full-time and raising two energetic kiddos. It's a way to focus my brain on something else for a change. I love when customers love the things I make too!

I make highly effective, well-balanced, sustainable little luxuries for bath & body. I'm a research scientist with a cosmetic chemistry hobby and dry skin, so I started New England Apothecary as an avenue to explore my hobby more deeply and share my creations with others. I also have an aversion to single-use plastics, so I aim to package all of my products low-or-no waste. With New England Apothecary you're buying locally hand-crafted, eco-friendly science-backed custom formulas from a woman-owned & operated small business.

Twice turned green tree wood from the north shore. 

I am a wood turner, utilizing green tree wood to make bowls.

I don’t consider myself an artist, but a woodworker. I turn tree wood to be used and a memory of what once grew locally. Whether it comes from storm damage, disease, or from private property, there is never a shortage.

Because the through line of my art practice is the natural world, it ebbs and flows with the seasons, with the tides, and with the temperature. In the winter, I am with the dogs at the beach, observing and capturing the light, water, and landscape, or at home painting with plant inks and pigments I gathered and processed in the summer and into the fall. As we turn towards spring, I anticipate muddy hikes with ink rich buds, blossoms, and fungi, and the sprouts that will unfurl into summer blooms ripe with dye colors. For every new color or interaction, I stumble into in my process-focused work, I learn more about our local habitats and the way people have interacted with dyes, inks, and other wild-crafts throughout time. My goal is to be always looking, always learning, and actively respecting and caring for these resources and surroundings.

About a Buoy

Handcrafted nautical art made from locally sourced materials

About a Buoy was started after my own nautical home decorations and art were bursting at the seams!
