a creative place

Over the centuries Hallowell has been known for its makers—its artists, musicians, potters, chairmakers, shipcarvers…

Malley Weber #60, is one of our contemporary makers in town. She has run a pottery shop and classes for many years.

Johnny Stringer

One locally well known maker was John “Johnny” Stringer. He died in 1848 but many Hallowell residents today take pride in owning one of his well crafted chairs. One can be seen at the Hubbard Free Library as well.
