Hannah Cloud Sharpless brought her “found and foraged” apparel to Made By 01907, the annual artisan market she and three others organize in Swampscott. Sharpless upcycles clothing with plants she grows and gathers, dyeing and eco-printing the materials by hand.
This year marks Sharpless’ sixth organizing Made By 01907. About 20 booths filled the First Church in Swampscott on Saturday, offering wooden bowls, earrings, prints, hats, soaps, breads, and more.
“We have very qualified vendors. I love that it’s a tradition now,” Sharpless said. “Every year new people apply, which means there’s more people doing art and are becoming aware of us.”
The list of vendors included:
- Sew Envious
- Grit & Polish Design
- TB’s Dots on Pots
- North Shore Bowls
- Tieger Ceramics
- Wilder Woodworks
- Dragonfly Home Studio
- KD creations
- Kate in the Kitchen
- Draw with Yulia
- BeachSide Treasures
- Priscilla Low
- Hannah Cloud Sharpless
- Signs by Mico
- MiraMar Printmakers
- Eglassylady
- The Krafting Crew
- Jenny’s Coastal Claws
- Altshul Creative Arts
- My Brother’s Table
- Discovery Point
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the town to get together,” said Tom Bagarella, of Beachside Treasurers.
Bagarella, a coastal artisan, sold unique shadow boxes crafted from materials gathered along the shore. This marked his second appearance at Made By 01907.
For Sam Atoui, the event felt like a homecoming. The Swampscott resident once ran a shop on Humphrey Street featuring her MiraMar Printmakers studio, named for her children Amira and Maddox. She sold a variety of prints, from owls and flowers in a fish vase to scenes of local landmarks.
“We have participated in this since this started, and it’s a nice opportunity to be in the community and see other vendors,” Atoui said.
A few booths down, Kate Holloran made her Made By 01907 debut with Kate in the Kitchen. Her table featured chocolate chip sourdough cookies and loaves of bread in flavors like jalapeño cheddar, plain, and chocolate chip, as well as banana bread and cinnamon rolls.
“It’s just about being able to keep spreading sourdough with the local community and spending time,” Holloran said.
