4Shore Studio is located on Kent Island in Maryland and is inspired daily by the beauty and charm of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
While we do not currently operate a brick-and-mortar storefront, we have on occasion had our pieces featured at several local businesses. We are also looking into doing a few craft/vendor shows a year to give every type of shopper the opportunity to get to know what 4Shore Studio has to offer. We currently sell our products through our website and Etsy Store.
We proudly support shopping local and are always looking for opportunities to collaborate with fellow small businesses and community partners along Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
