Isabel Souza Studio is a local artist's pottery studio and shop. You find it down a short flight of steps at 313 Main Street, under a round black sign with a sunburst logo. Inside are her own ceramic designs alongside jewelry, art, textiles and accessories. It's a small, personal stop on the Main Street walk for something handmade to bring home.
Masterson Made is a thoughtfully curated home decor, art, and gift shop in Woods Hole village, Falmouth. Owners Melissa and Patrick create woodwork on-site — handcrafted cutting boards and soy candles — alongside a carefully selected collection of coastal kitchenware, original artwork, and locally made goods. It's the kind of store where everything on the shelf has a story.
Newcomb Hollow Shop is the white house with the red door and red window boxes at 275 Main Street, with wicker chairs set out on the front patio. The shop bills itself as handmade Cape Cod: locally made pottery, lamps, planters, birdhouses and earrings and necklaces. You'll also find soft pashminas, kids' lamps and craft chocolate. It's a good place to find a coastal gift or something for the house that wasn't made far away.
