KENNEBUNKPORT—Santa’s workshop is setting up shop locally during Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude celebration when Post House Commons on U.S. Route 1 in Wells will host some of Maine’s most creative craftsmen at a special Holiday Artisan Workshop.

The workshops will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during Prelude weekends of Dec. 3 and 4 and Dec. 10 and 11.

The Artisan Workshop at Post House Commons enables one-of-a-kind Maine artisans to demonstrate their crafts and sell their unique wares.

On hand for both weekends will be:

• Steve Bertell of Little River Decoys, an award-winning master carver of handcrafted decoys, shorebirds and decorative carvings;

• Christina Teneyck of Constant Gardener Arts, featuring botanical-inspired fine arts and crafts using native flora and fauna. Items include jewelry, herbarium pressings, watercolors, cards and gifts;

• Duncan Scott of Misto’s Plant Company, featuring locally handcrafted succulent container gardens that convey the rustic, organic tone of the New England landscape; and

• Lori Milne of Get Hooked By Lori, a fibre artist that uses hand dyed wool to create primitive rug-hooked specialties, including decorative ornaments and pillows.

Post House Commons is at 2178 U.S. Route 1 in Wells.
