Custom made furniture, cabinets and other furnishings for the private residence as well as the commercial environment.
Creating, constructing, building has always been very fulfilling to me. I built my first pieces in my early twenties. Simple and basic cabinets, though my friends liked them and were eager to have them in their homes. Later on I built a 14-foot sailboat from some simple drawings. I have to say that I had more fun building the boat than sailing it!
Woodworking is in my genes. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, where my father and uncle were both craftsman. I feel that through them, I inherited a sense for beauty, harmony and balance.
After a period of time spent in the managerial world a career change led to the Fine Woodworking Program at Haywood Community College in North Carolina.
In 2002 I started creating furniture in a small one-car garage. Since that time many, many unique pieces of furniture have been created for customers all around the country and beyond.
Four and North (formally North Circle Studio) is located in the home studio of Pamela Fortin in Fairfield, Maine. Since learning to screen print a few years ago, she has transferred her original artwork to useful and reusable home goods such as flour sack tea towels, napkin sets, produce/bread bags and market tote bags. Products are hand screen printed in small batches with eco-friendly ink. Each design is inspired by and made in Maine.
Bags that I design and make using recycled clothing, vintage fabrics such as Barkcloth and original fabrics that I design and have printed then make into bags.
I am currently also making masks. I’ve donated over 1000. I have several styles for sale on Etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/OldBagzz
Stone Designs is a stone working studio and outdoor art gallery located on a historic quarry in Downeast Maine. Here I create stone sculpture to adorn your home and garden from up-cycling the abundance of granite left behind by the industry one hundred years ago. I hand-make each piece at the studio by fusing old and modern stone working tools and techniques. My sculpture reflects simple forms found in nature.

My jewelry is designed to be one of a kind..I love the idea of having a very special piece of jewelry no one else will have..something unique, handcrafted and made with beautiful materials. I spend a lot of time sourcing out my materials from gemshows to various vendors and always choosing pearls with special shapes and beautiful luster and gemstones with beautiful colors, shapes and sizes. Nature is my inspiration and each piece is created with the good energy of the earth and the sea!

Handmade, custom farm tables by New England Joinery.
New England Joinery is a small custom furniture business located in Monmouth, ME. We specialize in handmade, custom Farm Tables built with reclaimed woods salvaged from 18th & 19th century buildings throughout Maine. All of our lumber is hand picked and thoughtfully repurposed into extraordinary table tops and used in other elements in our custom furniture. Combined with select hardwoods such as White Oak, Curly Maple, and Yellow Birch, our furniture is what we call “Refined, Rustic” and suitable for a country cottage or a Manhattan penthouse.
What makes our furniture unique is the time and skill that goes into each piece, the materials we use, and the sense of history in the reclaimed woods chosen.
New for us this year, is the addition of a brand new band saw saw mill. We now have the ability to saw our own lumber for or handcrafted furniture. In a state rich with natural resources such as White Pine, Norway Pine, Ash, & Yellow Birch, we are now able to control the quality of the woods we use in our custom furniture. Another way we use the saw mill is to re saw reclaimed beams and antique timbers from some of Maine’s barns that are sadly being torn down due to age and neglect. These beams, when sawn into boards are perfect for flooring and our beautiful farm tables.
Our unique Maine Made Wind Bells, have been produced on the coast of Maine since 1975. Hand tuned to many famous harbor bell buoys, we also produce other soothing melodies to heal the soul. Using high quality recycled materials, we handcraft, powder coat, and carefully package all of our bells right in our own workshop. We are a “Proud Green Company” using recycled steel within our wind bells and unique recyclable packaging.
