The area has a thriving arts scene, thanks in part to Schoodic Arts For All, an organization that hosts festivals and workshops. Pam Broderick at Works of Hand combs beaches for sea glass and pottery, while Roger Fisher restores wood from old lobster traps. Together, they make lovely wood-framed mirrors with mosaic detailing.
There are dozens of talented knitters, glass blowers, potters, and painters, many who are open to sharing their crafting process. At U.S. Bells, you can watch the artist pour molten bronze into molds. The selection of hand-hooked designs, local crafts, and vintage items at Chapter Two in Corea is nearly upstaged by the massive but well-organized collection of eclectic books.
