Campfire Pottery
Pottery brought together the Campfire pair, Kristen and Joe Camp, as their love began while taking a pottery class in their home state of Georgia. They opened their studio at the Dana Warp Mill located in Westbrook, Maine, and shop off of Washington Avenue in Portland five years ago. They use a variety of different clays and techniques including Raku which is a Japanese style ceramic process. Kristen and Joe take us on their journey on how they got into pottery in the first place, what brought them to Maine, how they started their business, and what the vision is behind their products.
SaltyGirl Beauty
Have you ever thought about what goes into the products that you put on your body? From lotions to scrubs to mascara to lipstick, there are so many products individuals use on their bodies on a daily. Sarah and Leah take us on a journey on how they went about their research in clean ingredients and how they put together a fabulous collection of products that not only feels good but looks good too. They tell us about how they handcraft their body care line out of their office in Kennebunk and how their beauty line is manufactured out of New York City. The sisters also touch on the non-profits they lead and support as well as how they built their SaltyGirl community.
Maine Flag co.
Bethany Field and Chris Korzen have always been fond of flags. They started crafting the Maine Merchant & Marine Flag seven years ago and they have now expanded to a couple more designs including the first Maine state flag. This design is simple yet truly resonates with many especially this year as Maine celebrates its Bicentennial. Chris fills me in on the history of the Original 1901 Maine Flag and Bethany shares how she goes about crafting their flags. Bethany and Chris are also sailors and inform me of their long sailing trip from Maine to Key West.
Wildwood Oyster Co.
Becky McKinnell is all about getting creative with her hands and encourages others to do so as well by inviting old and new friends to craft nights at her house in Cumberland, Maine. Who knew that Wildwood Oyster Company would be brought to life by beginning the craft of her first handbag at one of those craft nights.
