Each Tuesday, from spring through fall, the Farmers & Makers Market here on the plaza of The Shops at Sea Pines Center ushers a world of fresh produce – and fresh information – to visitors and residents alike.
Alongside Mother Nature’s offerings, local artisans present the work of hands and imaginations. We invite you to dive into the enchanting world of artisans whose passion and craftsmanship breathe life into their unique creations, a delightful array of handcrafted treasures, each with its own story to tell.
The Fabric of Lives
One of the standout features of the Farmers & Makers Market are the exquisite fabric creations of Cathe Daum and Regina Mathieson. These skilled crafters transform natural fabrics into decorative pillow covers, tote bags, and more. Each piece reflects a commitment to quality and attention to detail. The rich textures and vibrant colors come together to create functional art that is both beautiful and durable. As you browse through the collection, you’ll find a variety of designs that cater to every taste, making it easy to find the perfect piece to take home.
Art You Can Wear
Casual jewelry artists at the Farmers & Makers Market bring a touch of local heritage into their work. Inspired by the coastal beauty of Hilton Head Island, these artisans create wearable items that capture the essence of the island’s charm. Each handmade piece tells a story of creativity and dedication. Strolling through the Tuesday market allows you to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into every creation.
Creations from the Oven
The head of one of our foremost grower families is also an extraordinary baker. Folks just follow their noses to the pies and muffins, and then ask Martha what she recommends today. Selections range from tomato pies and sweet potato chips to lemon bars and cobblers, from strawberry shortcake and banana pudding to lemon bars, cobblers, and cookies. You can’t go wrong.
Another wonderful baker at the Farmers & Makers Market can fix you up with French macaroons and cupcakes, or home-crafted soups.
Meet the Artisans
This personal touch brings to mind the essence of why people come and come back. At The Shops at Sea Pines Center, you’re not just buying a product; you’re connecting with the stories behind each piece. And this is true not only at the Tuesday markets. Like the artisans in the plaza, the merchants in the shops are available to share their inspirations and the processes behind their work. This local touch adds a layer of meaning to your shopping experience, making each piece not just a purchase, but a connection to the local community and its rich artistic heritage.
As the Festive Season Approaches
The Farmers and Makers Market on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving – that’s Tuesday, November 26, this year – will conclude the markets for this season. It’s a good time to be thinking of gifts that connect your loved ones to this paradise we are fortunate to know. Jellies and jams and relishes and cannery products from Lowcountry Produce are easy to order and send from their website. In a sense, that’s one way to keep the magic of the Farmers & Makers Market going all year, and to send it wherever your loved ones live.
