Scituate for Crafters

*Please call first for available times and business hours.

Enjoy breakfast at Sam’s on the Harbor, the “go-to” restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and takeout, overlooking beautiful Scituate Harbor. Large picture windows give you a great view of boaters and fishermen heading out to start their days, while you enjoy a delicious classic breakfast or one of Sam’s many specials like the California Croissant, BLT Benedict, even a Keto Omelette!
Head around the corner to the artist cooperative Expressions on Front Street, a venue to create and showcase the work of local artists and artisans. As an artist cooperative, each member is dedicated to supporting this mission through the contribution of their handcrafted products, their time running the shop, and the creative process with members at meetings.
Just down the street, head to Native and check out their offerings of pottery, jewelry, textiles, accessories, and artifacts from diverse tribes and cultures including the American Southwest, Mexico, India, Africa, Nepal, Thailand, South America, and New Guinea. Native goes on buying trips to the Southwest, Peru, Ecuador, and Guatemala, importing these handmade, often one-of-a-kind, items directly from these countries, working with co-ops and fair trade organizations.

Finish up in the Harbor by grabbing lunch at one of the many fine restaurants such as Salt Society, Galley, Vine Bar, Mill Wharf, or Satuit Tavern just a short and scenic walk away.
For anyone into the fiber arts, North Scituate is a perfect destination for your afternoon with not one but two yarn shops! Park at the North Scituate Playground parking lot off of Henry Turner Bailey Road and check out Staci’s Stitches right on the corner. Staci’s boasts an inventory that rivals any big-box store with high quality yarn at a wide variety of prices. Staci’s carries brands that you just can’t find anywhere else like Knit Collage, Threadhead Knitting Co., and Hypnotic Yarns, and offers knitting and crocheting classes in the evenings and on the weekends. Staci’s even offers one-day needle felting classes that are the perfect opportunity to try your hand at a new craft!
The Makery Sewing Studio, also in North Scituate, is the perfect place to create. They teach classes for both children (ages 7 and up) and adults, and offer a variety of events including Parent & Me Sewing, Project Workshops, Ladies Nights, Private Events, Birthday Parties, One on Ones, and more. The Makery often hosts visiting artists teaching other creative classes, too, so call ahead and see what’s in store!

For dinner, check out new American fare at Oro, or head to the Rivershed if you’re a barbecue fan!
The Little House of Arts in Scituate Harbor boasts a wide variety of classes for kids and adults of all ages. Check out their offerings online or call ahead and book your own Ladies’ Night event, choosing from dozens of available options!
If you’ve ever wanted to try throwing pottery, make a call to Jeff Adams, owner of ANJL Ceramics at 617–733-7579. He teaches eight-week–long evening classes, rents out studio space, and offers shopping hours by appointment to see his fantastic creations.
If you’ve got time left, end your day by grabbing an ice cream at Dribbles in North Scituate and the harbor or Nona’s in the harbor. Enjoy the breathtaking sunset views from Minot Beach or Old Scituate Light.
