The Craft Shop
 
The Craft Shop, operated by the Big Droke Foundation,
not only sells incredible products handicrafted by local
artisans throughout the region, but is an extension
of the rich local history depicted in the museum.
Wanda Pittman, craftshop designer, has experienced
the life of a fish and forester and her choice of decoration
reflects her past and other local fishers and foresters
alike. The décor includes birch slab shelving,
pryers are used to hang capelin seine, and herring nets
make beautiful curtains.
This replica of a Cod Trap, whichwas handcrafted by
80 year old
Christopher Pittman in 2002, a retired fisherman from Bird Cove,
is a favorite topic of discussion in the Craft Shop.
