Oct 19 Mini Maine Makers Market in Damariscotta
A makers market featuring Maine artisans who specialize in upcycled goods, slow fashion and/or found art will take place on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the American Legion in Damariscotta.
Drawing inspiration from the newly formed Congressional Slow Fashion Caucus, co-founded by Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine), the market aims to raise awareness about fast fashion’s impact on the climate crisis. The caucus promotes reducing, repairing, rewearing, and recycling as sustainable alternatives and supports the return of USA-based textile and apparel production.
The market will be co-located with the “Rally for Democracy” sponsored by the Lincoln County Democratic Committee. The rally is a Get Out the Vote (GOTV) party with live music, food and drinks for purchase, activities for all ages, and opportunities to meet Democratic candidates and gather voter information. Pingree will attend the rally and make remarks.
Four makers will be selling jewelry, art, children’s clothing, one-of-a-kind fashions and accessories at the mini market.
Based on Deer Isle, Maureen Farr’s Mozelle Fine Jewelry has evolved from found object jewelry to creating pieces of silver, colorful enamels on copper and repurposed steel. Attendees may pre-order at https://www.mozellefinejewelry.com/shop-mozelle for pickup at the event by selecting that option at checkout.
From her studio in Bath, Kharris B creates assemblage art. “Old photos, recipe cards and letters, discarded old books, camera lenses beyond repair, retired clocks and tools… there are treasures everywhere if you are looking for them…” explains her website, https://www.kharrisb.com/. Contact her to request that specific pieces be brought to the market for in-person viewing.
Kate and Nick Bergmann of Peace House Studio in Bath create children’s clothing made in the USA from durable, soft organic cotton. When items are worn or outgrown, they can be returned to the Patches Project for store credit. The Bergmanns state,“We believe that clothes belong on people, not in landfills.” Learn more at https://www.peacehousestudio.com/.
Callie Rhodin creates one-of-a-kind upcycled, hand painted and well-loved fashion, accessories and art under her selkie silhouettes brand based in Portland. Rhodin’s “art comes from a part of you that is entirely magic” as described on her website, https://selkiesilhouettes.shop.

Events, including theatrical performances, music, culinary experiences and an exhibition of submitted artwork, will be held on May 1 and 2 at Eastport Arts Center (EAC).
