We are thrilled to be adding Local Author Lisa Sugarman's Book to Our Offerings!

We are thrilled to offer Lisa Sugarman's book to Marblehead.Works book offerings.

We expend massive amounts of energy in pursuit of perfection. If only we never made mistakes or hit any obstacles. If only. But then life would be static, unfulfilling, and really, really boring.

Marblehead Humorist, Lisa Sugarman, knows that life is a work in progress. She knows what we all suspect—life is at its best when it's fluid, unpredictable, and gloriously imperfect. And if this means life sometimes turns ugly and unpleasant, it only makes the good times that much sweeter.

Nationally syndicated opinion columnist and author of the weekly humor column It Is What It Is, Lisa embraces reality, not perfection. We're supposed to be imperfect. We're meant to screw up, make bad decisions, and lose our way. We can't control everything that life throws at us, but we can control how we react to it.

With the right attitude and a little guidance from Lisa, anyone can be happy and fulfilled most of the time. Her collection of funny, inspiring, and sometimes poignant columns reminds us that life is not a straight line, even on the best of days, and it's the twists in the road which make the journey so beautiful.

We Welcome Aboard JMC Fine Art Jewelry!

Marblehead.Works welcomes JMC fine art jewelry to our offerings!  We will

Seraglio Necklace

offer exceptional pieces of jewelry, handmade in Marblehead by Joyce Mayer Clark.

Each piece of jewelry is unique and designed with a keen eye for color and texture. Bead weaving and embroidery are painstaking techniques; each

bead is chosen with care and added one at a time. 

If you're looking for a statement piece, you've come to the right place!

Artist Statement

I am a self-taught bead artist who specializes in bead embroidery and bead weaving; techniques that

Painted Desert

are distinct from each other but are often combined. Bead embroidery is done with needle and thread on a fabric ground while bead weaving uses only needle, thread, and beads. My primary medium is seed beads: tiny glass beads that come in a vast array of colors and finishes, as well as art glass, gemstones and other natural materials that provide me with an endless palette. 

Painted Desert Earrings

I draw much of my inspiration from the world around me. Marblehead is a spectacularly beautiful town, and I am incredibly fortunate to live close to the ocean in such a stunning area. I am fascinated by the way that the colors and textures of the sea can change from dark and stormy to light and calm in a matter of moments. The shades of grey and vibrant autumn leaves floating in an asphalt puddle; the hues and textures in the discolored hull of a sailboat; and the brilliant colors and intricate shapes of garden flowers all inform my art.

My background in graphic design, illustration, and bookbinding brings depth and breadth to my work, and contributes knowledge of color, texture and composition to each piece. I am passionate about creating three dimensional wearable works of art, and love engineering a piece to be comfortable, functional, and beautiful. I am an artist member of the Marblehead Arts Association and my jewelry has won several awards, including Outstanding Work and Best of Show in the Marblehead Festival of Arts.

Each piece I make is a labor of love; unique and handcrafted with attention to detail and many hours of painstaking work that results in one-of-kind heirlooms. The details may be delicate, but the end result always makes a strong statement - whether worn with a pair of jeans or a formal gown.

Marblehead.Works Welcomes Aboard Shiplights!

Large Hooded Wall Mount

We are excited to announce that Shiplights has joined Marblehead.Works! Shiplights provides high-end residential and commercial lighting. While most lighting materials break down in a salt-rich environment, their

solid brass construction makes them ideal for use in humid, coastal and seaside locations.

Shiplights has lighting available for patios, decks, entryways,

docks, piers, home gardens, kitchens, bathrooms, and more. 

Their products have been featured in a variety of home magazines and used

on projects such as the Shutter Island movie set, Titanic Museum, Pearl Harbor Apartments, Disney Polynesian Village, Bimini Big Game Resort, Bitter End Yacht Club, New York Yacht Club, Tonight Show Set, Edition Hotel Miami, Boston Design Center, American Yacht Club 

You can also find their lights in private residences from Nautical lighting for coastal and seaside locations from Nantucket to the Hamptons to Miami to San Francisco.

Marblehead.Works adds Kypad: Stand-up Paddleboard/Kayak for Kids

Kypad

We are ecstatic to now be offering the Kypad: a cross between a kayak and a stand-up paddleboard made specifically for kids. 

“Our greatest hope is that the easy maneuvering of this unique board will foster a sense of independence and strength in every child,” say Patricia Cregier, Co-Founder.

Kypad

Specifically designed for children, the Kypad is equipped with a seat, footwells, and a leash for safety. The hand-carved boards are made from fiberglass and are strong, yet remarkably light. A typical adult-sized paddleboard can weigh as much as 40 pounds. The Kypad weighs in at just 15 but its generous weight limit means kids won’t outgrow it right away, if ever.

Kypad Display Tent at Marblehead.Works Launch Party May 19, at The Landing, Marblehead

Summer is coming, and now is the perfect time to purchase a Kypad for your child! For a chance to see them for your self and for the chance to purchase a Demo Board come to our Marblehead.Works Pop Up Shop Launch Party! They will have a tent right outside the Landing Restaurant in Marblehead the night of the party. For more information about the event, visit and our Marblehead.Works Launch Party Event page.
