Meet Makers, Musicians, and Taste Hard Cider while Touring the Village

Village Handcraft, a one-year-old shop at 52 Water St. in Wiscasset Village, will be featuring artist Emily Bell-Hoerth, who creates with dried flowers, during the final Wiscasset Art Walk of the season on Thursday, September 29, 5-8pm.

Shop owner Eric McIntyre describes Village Handcraft as “both a workshop and a store – all in one. Goods that are sold there are made in that room. You can see the tools that made the items and learn about the process from the maker.” McIntyre, the maker, carves and crafts “useful, beautiful items with hand tools” – like graceful brooms and sculptural wooden utensils – in his shop to bring pleasure to common daily tasks. Fresh shavings in the corners of the workshop are evidence of the creative effort underway.

Fun, interactive, energizing, lovely – some of the terms used to describe the Wiscasset Art Walk on Thurs., August 25. “We enjoyed bringing smiles to the faces of each passerby and teaching some hip hop moves informally to the children and (occasionally) even the adults,” said Melanie Pagurko, principal dancer and owner of Dancemaineia, based in Waldoboro.

Village Sidewalks Offer Learning Activities to Young Travelers

If serendipity is a happy accident, an unexpected but delightful adventure, then young visitors to July’s Wiscasset Art Walk had many serendipitous moments!

During July’s WAW evening, Jim Doble from Union and Rick Burns of Wiscasset were hand-making percussion instruments under tents on the sidewalk. Steve Almasi, a percussion player, was setting up his cajón, a Peruvian box drum, nearby. At that moment, a group of boys in brightly colored tie-dyed t-shirts came sauntering by, clearly watchful for something energetic to do. Steve invited the boys to play his cajónand after his 20 second demo, the boys stepped up, one by one, to give it a try. Bystanders were awed by these zestful kids as they encouraged and applauded each other’s musical daring.

They call themselves Lambo Law: Guitar Duet, and they are terrific. Jazz guitarists Neil Lamb and David Lawlor will be playing a free concert at Wiscasset Art Walk on Thursday, July 28, from 5 to 8pm. Look for them on a sidewalk in Wiscasset Village.

The Wiscasset Art Walk tradition of making community art continues during the Thursday, July 28 evening, from 5 to 8pm. Musicians and woodworkers will stake out their spot on the sidewalk to hand-make percussive instruments for visitors to play.

When visitors come to Wiscasset Village, they’ll enjoy the beautiful paintings in the Village galleries. But slightly hidden are even more wonderful art pieces in the boutique shops throughout the Village.

After some initial showers, the sky cleared for a successful final Wiscasset Art Walk of the season on Thursday evening, Sept. 30.
