Present is a seasonal art collective made up of fourteen local men and women offering a bevy of eclectic fine craft. Living, creating and recycling on Cape Ann are common themes reflected in the goods including bags made from reclaimed sweaters and vintage notions. Look for jingle flounder, lovely wreaths, hand-knit hats, pottery, felted flowers, fish prints, handmade leather pocketbooks, and photographs inspired by local people and landscapes.
Delightfully unusual wares also include clever clothing and accessories for children, iron-pressed sandwich keepers made from recycled plastic bags, beautifully handmade knitting needle cases, hand-knit wire jewelry, and itty bitty jewels. Present is a great place to shop for pretty things and one-of-a kind gifts and ornaments.
Present is Amanda Cook, Jane Cunningham, Jessica Demarjian, Elizabeth Grammas, Jill Josephson of Gloucester Oneseas, Pam Lally, Melanie Murray-Brown, Scott & Erin O’Sullivan-Place of Twin Lights Studio, Stephanie Mason Thibodeau, Karen Chapin, Jeanne Romansky, Sharon Lowe and Elizabeth Berthoud.
