Stoneware
I make everyday pottery that reflects a birch forest or a silhouette of the
mountains and islands of Acadia, reminding you of your very best moments in
Maine. That is my goal in creating Carole Beal Stoneware.
After 25 winters in the village of Bar Harbor, I now create pottery year
round overlooking a five acre field in Blue Hill, Maine. I handmake each
mug, platter or vase on a potter's wheel and handpaint with a wax resist
design between two layers of glaze. Firing is outdoors for 16 hours in a
gas kiln. Carole Beal Stoneware is safe for all foods, the oven,
dishwasher and microwave.

Sweetgrass-Fine Baskets of Maine
Ms. Goodyear is one of the founding members of Island Artisans and, for
many years, her work as a handweaver was represented at the shop. Fourteen
years ago, she established Sweetgrass-Fine Baskets of Maine. This
collection of more than 30 basketmakers' works is an eclectic one ranging
from traditional to contemporary, some functional, others ornamental. They
all have in common, however, the finest of craftsmanship and purest of
creativity, representing a devotion to the continuation and exploration of
an ancient craft.
Pictured here are examples of some of the styles represented in the
collection. Feel free to contact Abigail for further information, and for
pictures of individual pieces.
