Village Handcraft — Local services in Wiscasset

Village Handcraft is a wonderful, unique shop in downtown Wiscasset: well worth a visit whether you’re staying in town or just passing through! At Christmas, we purchased stunning hand-carved spoons for family members who use them to make Sunday dinners each and every week.

Eric is also the nicest guy and an exceptionally talented, kind, and thoughtful artist who shares both his handiwork and expertise with everyone who visits; stop by to see him at work and learn more about his exquisite craft while you peruse his collection of beautiful wares.

Eric is not only skilled but extremely knowledgeable, and happy to share and teach while you're there. We can't recommend the shop, and his products, enough! Definitely stop in here when you have the chance. Or make a day...
