New Artisans

Elisabeth Delahaunty, Hyde Park, MA

Elisabeth Delahaunty, a MA native, started Elisabethan in 1996 out of a love of fashion & patterns, using mostly vintage fabrics. Shopping in thrift stores and sourcing raw materials has led her to an awareness of how much unwanted secondhand clothing exists. She saw a NEED to work with this potential resource, and for over 20 years Elisabeth has been committed to making clothing and accessories entirely from reclaimed fabrics.

She lived for 25 years in rural western Colorado, an adventure that included a studio with a team of 3-6 employees, a retail store, selling her work to boutiques and shops around the United States, including thousands of miles on the road to juried art fairs. She returned to Massachusetts in 2023 and opened her studio in 2025 (A bit of a culture shock, she said, even for a MA native!).

Elisabeth still uses secondhand cotton T-shirts, cashmere & wool sweaters as “yardage” and designs, and makes all of her patterns. She strives for playful, well-fitting combinations through piecing, appliqué, & dyeing. She loves color play and hates waste. Recycling is central to her work—and inspiration!

She is a “cat person,” taking in strays, and enjoys walks and bobbing in the ocean. A favorite Trustees property is deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, which she LOVES! She also loves World’s End, which she thinks is well named!

Tiffanys Trees

Tiffany DeAngelo is the Artisan & Owner of Nova Luxe Studios in Southampton, Massachusetts, where she creates wire sculptures, primarily in aluminum, with a focus on nature-inspired forms such as trees. She began working with wire at age 8 under the influence of her creative grandmother, and in 2016 transitioned from a 25-year career in hotel management to full-time art.

Her work is showcased through the art show circuit, and she accepts commissions and wholesale inquiries via her studio website or Instagram. Nova Luxe Studios emphasizes her passion for nature and the joy of transforming wire into organic shapes.

Returning Artisans

Little Cat Metals

Little Cat Metals consists of the formidable team of Carol and Dana from Western Massachusetts. They create original jewelry made from American recycled sterling silver and gold using ethically sourced stones to minimize the environmental impact. All their original designs are handcrafted without any molds or templates. Carol is the founder, lead artisan designer, and metalsmith. She was classically trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her designs are beautifully lightweight and durable while also timeless, modern, and inspired by nature.

Dana is the IT guy and apprentice metalsmith who runs the back of the house as a project leader, coordinator of shows, and travel plans. He also supports Carol’s need for hourly coffee top-ups!

Together they form a happy and positive team who, while not creating new designs, split their time between hiking in Western Massachusetts and the ocean vibes of Cape Cod with their two rescue cats, and indulging in their all-important daily evening dinners lit by beeswax candles from Swift Farms.

c.e. golden

Jeweler Caroline Golden from the Town of Harvard blends her love of jewelry and her passion for small objects into her craft. She incorporates elements from nature and often uses vintage pieces like buttons and medals. Birds perching on a wire is a favorite subject, which is well loved by families with children. A bird for each child, which becomes a sculpture on a small scale.

Caroline loves stories and history and any objects which seem to carry a story with them. She especially likes her customers to create their own stories with her jewelry pieces and pass them along to their friends and family.

Woods and Water Pottery

Rick Roth of Woods and Water Pottery in Templeton, MA has been a juried member of the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen since 2018. His handcrafted animal sculptures are collector’s items that are sought after throughout the United States.

The origin of his art comes from an interest in wildlife, and for many years Rick and his wife Karen managed an outreach program bringing New England Forest animals into local schools. At that time, his artistic outlet was unique animal wood carvings. It eventually led him to work with clay, which he found to be a more malleable and suitable medium for his sculptures. Besides his unique collectable sculptures, Rick also creates one-of-a-kind pottery including birch bark and mushroom mugs, teapots, and bowls.
