Winterstick - Design & Handcraft Snowboards By Riders...

Makers of the USA ·

2023/04/19

"Our craft is making snowboards with Winterstick snowboards. Winterstick is the oldest snowboard company in the world. It was started in 1972 by Dimitrije Milovich out in Salt Lake City and for the last 23 years, we've run our business out of Maine. I came on about six and a half years ago and I've always been a lifelong snowboarder. I've based my whole education and life around snowboarding. Somehow I ended up in a position where I actually get to design and make snowboards," said Rob Lu, President

Steve Smith Keeps The Traditional Craft of Hand...

"My craft is hand hewing, which is basically turning a log into a square beam using only an axe. It's a craft that's been around for thousands of years. Most of the old homes and barns and structures throughout New England were timber framed, and those beams were hewn just with an axe. So it's a craft that is not common anymore. But you can still learn about it through books or YouTube videos. And as soon as I learned about it, it just resonated. I just knew I was going to enjoy it," said Steve

" I define myself as a leather art wear designer so which means that I make one-of-a-kind pieces of art fashion using recycled leather. How I got into that -- long funny story but it really came down to my friend asking me in his driveway if I wanted to sew leather jackets together. My experience sewing before that was minimal. I had a sewing machine. My mom got me from Walmart and knew how to do some really basic straight stitches on jeans and didn't repair things. But I always had an interest in

Philip Costello Creates Sculptures & Carvings Through...

"I guess in my particular case, the wood sculpture would be more of a definition of what I do. A traditional wood carver uses chisels and gouges only that are very specific. I've found that using some electric tools and sanding, I can sometimes bring the piece to the point that I like. So I'm more of a wood sculptor than I am a wood carver so to speak. A traditionalist would be a wood carver, I'm a wood sculptor. I've always been intrigued since a young child, I've always enjoyed drawing. My

After my experience there I just started to see some of the poems in physical form as garments," said Catherine Fisher, poet and fashion designer who is located in Brunswick, Maine.Catherine is originally from Massachusetts and had quite the journey before starting her own business."I went to a women's

"We probably owe it to the Portland music scene as an entity, mostly, you know, we all knew each other. It's a tight, tight-knit scene. It's a very supportive scene. There were a lot of great clubs that we all knew when we were getting started and we'd all been playing in the clubs and working in the clubs and spending every free second in places like Big Easy. So the scene was a great place to pull from. So when we started, we ended one project and we started writing songs. Me and Will and Nick,

"We run the Red River Camps up in Northern Maine, it's a traditional sporting camp. But that kind of means that our craft is sort of twofold threefold, actually, when we throw Gloria into the mix. The first is that we tried to craft the northern Maine experience for people, you know, maybe new people who haven't fly fish before, or new people who haven't even been to Maine before. We had some folks from Long Island the other week, they were great. So we try to kind of bring them in and give them the

"I love burning candles. I've always got one going and then I kind of you know started doing some research into how to live like a healthier lifestyle and how to kind of clean up your life. One of the articles that I read was like, oh, you know, candles that have paraffin in them are bad for you. So I never realized that and then I got down a rabbit hole. And this was, mind you at the beginning of COVID. I was like, you know, locked in the house, and I needed something to do other than work and

“I started through studio art and just being creative and wanting to spend some time outdoors and allow for that to be done in a very grounded and observational way. So I have studio art practice and I'm also a Maine guide. I've been an angler for a long time. But mostly that's a way again to be outside and be looking around and feeling very innately human surrounded by nature. So I guide people fishing and I also founded the Confluence Collective which is all about accessibility to the outdoors,

We've been in business for over four years and honestly, the craft of it has kind of progressed over time. When my husband and I started, it was literally just in our backyard. We had a bunch of pallets laying around and we were like, oh, we could make something cool with that. So he was like, just give me a little, you know, an afternoon and he used the jigsaw and he cut out a bunch of Maine signs. From there, we were like, well, this is amazing.

2022/11/12

When I first heard of fly fishing I always thought of it to be a man’s sport but when I looked into the history of the sport a bit I discovered that women have been involved in fly fishing since 1496 —the way anglers tie their streamer fliers is attributed to a woman and the ‘bait and switch’ method anglers use to catch billfish on the fly came from a woman. And a woman was one of the most prominent guides in Maine when Teddy Roosevelt fished here in 1878. The story of women in fly fishing is huge

"Well, I grew up in Auburn, Maine, and at 10 years old, I announced to my mother, I was going to the Rhode Island School of Design to be a fashion designer. I have no idea where I'd ever even heard of Rhode Island School of Design. But anyway, I did. And then, growing up in Maine, in those years, there was no art after sixth grade. So I took classes wherever I could. And anything in school from mechanical drawing to whatever was holding a pencil and or a paintbrush. So then I decided I did get into

He actually found his start in high school," said Lauren Tuggle."Yeah, I was lucky to have a cool jewelry program in high school. We were fortunate to learn just a bunch of different techniques, we have a class where you would pick a different technique like enameling, piercing, or just some type of technique, and then you would kind of study that technique.

"I had an amazing geology teacher that took us mining for crystals in Herkimer, New York for Herkimer diamonds, and fluorescent stones in Franklin, New Jersey, and this sparked a lifelong love of gemstones. I started collecting and mining all over the place including Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, kind of everywhere on the East Coast, even over to Arkansas.

I don't have any family that's really ever done jewelry. I have some family that maybe have done some art stuff, but nothing really as a full-time job always as a hobby. A friend of mine brought home a wire-wrapped piece of jewelry from a music festival when I was 19. I was working full-time at the time and I was really excited to see it because
