Craftmasters is one of the oldest shops on the island, featuring one-of-a-kind scrimshaw created right in our doors. Using premium prehistoric Wooly Mammoth ivory and oil-based paints, we create timeless, heirloom-quality pieces that make fine collectibles as well as distinctive gifts. Beyond a unique selection of scrimshaw gifts and accessories, Craftmasters offers:
Leather specialty goods (coats, bags, wallets, belts, planners)
Sterling silver and 14K gold jewelry
Collectibles by American artisans
Exquisite hand-blown glass
If there was one shop I’d say was worth visiting on the Island it would be here. The craftsmanship is beautiful. Even if you walk away without making a purchase, you will still be able to admire the artistic work behind everything on display.

I grew up on Nantucket and most of downtown is unrecognizable, but Craftmasters takes me back to my childhood. A must-visit for gorgeous scrimshaw, leather crafts, and other artesanal items. Wonderful business run by great people.
