Meet Our Artisans & Merchants
Amy Wickersham
Maker of hand-dyed silk scarves. Each scarf becomes a work of art — a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
Big Oak Woodworking
Local woodworker specializing in cutting boards, charcuterie boards, bowls, and other various items made from domestic and exotic hardwoods.
Candace Ceslow Art
A painter, currently residing and working in Montauk, NY. Growing up on the Eastern End of Long Island, the ocean has played a major role in Candace’s personal and artistic development. The water is a place of rejuvenation and beauty, and at the same time, a place of deep unknowns and rough surf. My work explores the dynamic between the beauty and defenselessness that the water evokes.
Eve Behar Ceramics
Original one-of-a-kind ceramics made by hand in the heart of the Hamptons.
Grain Surfboards
Grain Surfboards leads workshops to build your own surf craft and skate decks from wood using traditional tools and techniques. They design, build and help you build true wooden surfboards with the idea that they will never see the landfill. We believe that building and surfing a hand-built wooden surfboard is the ultimate experience a surfer can have.
Hamptons Handpoured
Each candle is poured by hand in the heart of the Hamptons using 100% high-quality, clean-burning soy. Hamptons Handpoured was created by a Hamptons’ native, to merge her love of Interior Design, Wellness, & Small Business. Each scent used in their Signature Village Collection tells the story of life on the East End. Whether you’re here for the Summer or consider yourself a local, these candles are for all of us and this unique community we call the East End.
Nibi Mtk
Bohemian-chic specialty store carrying clothing, accessories and outerwear. In business for nine years, with our original store in Montauk and new locations in Bridgehampton and Westhampton within the past two years. We cater to women of all ages in search of a chic beach look. We are barefoot luxury.
Pamela Eldridge
One-of-a-kind, hand-made cards with paintings by Pamela Eldridge, inspired by her travels from around the world. These mini works of art inspire the art—literally and figuratively—of writing and mailing personal notes.
Shed Textile Co.
Shed Textile Company focuses on the art of hand weaving. All of the fibers used in their pieces are hand-sourced locally from farmers, spinners, shearers, dyers, makers, and tradesmen. Each artisanal design is created by hand — beginning with the initial stages of fiber selection to hand warping and dressing the loom — and is then woven on traditional wooden floor looms.
Stick + Stone
Stick + Stone is the sister company to Grain, featuring custom furniture and design, as well as handcrafted items from local artists. They operate a family-run creative space on the East End of Long Island specializing in custom wood furniture, picture framing, original art, and home furnishings. They offer workshops in jewelry making, screen printing, fabric dyeing, and more.

About i-tri
i-tri is a community-based empowerment program for middle-school girls. Based in East Hampton, i-tri partners with 12 school districts across Eastern Long Island, training the girls to complete a youth-distance triathlon. Setting a seemingly impossible goal (triathlon) and then completing it empowers the girls to overcome whatever hurdles they might face in their own lives. i-tri is always free of charge to all participants and provides the girls with all of the tools they will need to succeed.
Meet Your Hosts
A past resident of Montauk, Susan Manoussoff, and her sister-in-law, Jessica Brand joined forces in 2020 to launch Tasteful Skin. They share a passion for spreading nourishment and kindness to oneself and to others.
Together they collaborated with friend, and fellow artisan, Susan Nieland Jewelry to create a special shopping event that celebrates local makers from the Hamptons while supporting i-tri. It’s a pleasure to have you join us and contribute to a magical evening of connection and commerce.
