Maine Gathering is everything you love about Maine in one shop!…read more You've spent the summer in Maine, and now the season is winding down. School is around the corner, the breezes have gone from warm to crisp, and the rains slip down from the mountains more frequently. It's almost time to head home, back to real life. But you want something to take with you, a little momento of the sun and sea and lobsters and lighthouses. But how many postcards, cartoony mugs and made-in-China trinkets do you need? Let's face it, you want something unique and uniquely Maine. Head on over to Maine Gathering in the gorgeous harbor town of Camden! Maine Gathering is what it sounds like: a place where Maine artists come together to share their work with locals and visitors alike. In this small, unassuming shop, you can find pottery, jewelry, float rope mats and baskets (all recycled!), birch bark momentos, sea glass bits and bobs, and a plethora of all things lobster! Almost everything is hand made by a Maine local, and it shows: Every detail represents something that makes this state a rare gem on the East Coast. And owners Howard and Margaret Gallagher make sure that every visitor feels welcomed into this Maine artistic haven. From the in-depth knowledge of everyone who works there to Howard's jovial nature to the sheer selection of amazing gifts, Maine Gathering is THE place to go to find something to help you remember your Maine vacation for years to come!

My eyes kept coming back to a few of them and I even made a return visit to the store to take another look.

Everything is made by local artisans, and many pieces look to be one of a kind. They have wall art, blown glass, yarn art, and lots of pottery. The prices are a little high until you find that thing you love. Then they seem absolutely perfect because if you're traveling, you may find something close but never that exact piece again. The woman at the register was very friendly. I would expect she'd have been able to provide additional background, should I have asked.

So many beautiful things. Kaffe Fasset fabrics and watercolors. Fun quilt and clothes patterns. Beautiful silks, wools and cotton material. Embroidery floss, fabric paint, and all sorts of notions. On top of all this, my favorite thing in the world, an owner and staff who love where they work and what they sell. They know what they're talking about when they describe their supplies and were incredibly helpful with problem-solving and idea generation. Never felt like I was being given a pitch or pressured. They only have the best supplies. This is what it takes to make a great store and these people have it in spades. Finally, they have the sweetest dog in all creation (Anna) who loves to be gently pet. So, you can get a little pet therapy while you're there too.

The Good: *Great location along the Belfast waterfront *Really nice and unique pieces of pottery inside the store for sale at fairly reasonable prices. *Service was very friendly and welcoming *Pottery supplies for sale *Pottery classes for all skill levels *Booth at the United Farmers Market of Maine on Saturdays The Meh: *Not sure why they're aka "Belfast Clay Studio" on their website and IG The Ugly: *Parking in this area of Belfast can be a bit of a PiTa, but just be patient, and you'll find some. Conclusion: Nice place for all your pottery needs.
