Don’t let the name fool you. Handmade Papers Gallery is so much more than just paper, offering a wide variety of handmade home furnishings, jewelry and art.

Specializing in handmade paper lampshades, papermaker Virginia Sarsfield produces a rich palette of papers in many different shades and textures. The lampshades produced from her papers are one-of-a-kind and add a unique luminosity to any lamp. Working closely with each client, we help match the size, shape, and paper of the lampshade with the designated lamp base to maximize the beauty and functionality of each finished piece.

The gallery also features unique handmade lamps from artists Jim Webb, Mark Hutton, Cheryl Wolfe, and Lou Charlett, hand-woven rag rugs by Hillary Hutton, distinctive jewelry by Elaine Daniels, and maritime linocuts by James Dodds.

Located just up the hill from Center Harbor in Brooklin, the gallery’s front windows, full of artisan lamps and shades, shine like a beacon of light to sailors and vacationers alike. Gallery hours are noon to five, Wednesday through Sunday through Columbus Day, or year-round by chance or appointment.
