Tenley Seiders of Lobster Designs
David Tabbutt of Mainely Pens

Join us Saturday, 5/27 from 11am – 2pm at Lisa-Marie’s on Front Street in Bath for our first Meet the Maker of our 20th Anniversary celebrations!

Tenley, the one woman show behind Lobster Designs is a jewelry designer and creator who uses resourced shells from local fishermen in her community as the focus of her jewelry. Her lobster shells primarily come from the lobstermen in her family; her husband, J. Seiders and her young son, E. Seiders. Her oyster shells and mussel shells come from local coves and rivers in the South Bristol area. Using these foraged shells Tenley makes a wide variety of jewelry featuring the local Maine crustaceans.

David, the man behind Mainely Pens, did his first turnings as a child in his father’s basement shop. Now David provides beautiful pens created from composite wood combinations, local Maine wood procured from locations like Boothbay, Wiscasset, Cape Elizabeth, and Inner Heron Island. He has even challenged himself further by making pens from deer antler as well as crushed Maine lobster, oyster, and mussel shells!
Each pen is made one at a time, by hand, causing them to be one-of-a-kind with no two looking exactly alike.

Tenley and David will have displays set up in-store and are ready to answer any of your questions. They may even bring some items we’ve never seen before Meet the maker behind these clever creations.
