Old Quarry Crafts

To everyone that stopped by our tent at the BonAire craft fair: Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We saw record sales, unveiled some cool new nightlight designs, saw some old friends, and even connected with people from the Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit. What an experience it was to explain the inspiration for our latest creations!

The weekend has finally arrived and we are thrilled to visit BonAire for the first time. We hope to see you in Oquinquit tomorrow as we showcase some fresh offerings. There will be plenty of fun activities , live music and food trucks

If your name is Jane and you sent us a message about a Nubble night light, we somehow can't find your message. Saw it briefly this morning, but now it's gone. Kind of embarrassing, really. Definitely reach back out so we can get you what you want!

If your name is not Jane but want to be as cool as her once she gets her awesome night light, we can absolutely take care of you too!

And while you're here, check out the new additions...

We’ve got some pretty additions for spring, perfect for the Mom in your life

Side note - we’re looking to expand our lighthouse collection. Are there any well known houses across the US that you can think of???

A lengthy message from Jamie:

Yeah, yeah, I know... but this one might actually be worth reading. At least I think so. Oh, and when you're done reading, whether you get to the end or just give up, take a look at the photos of some of the new stuff.

So we're always looking for new ideas. New things to print. New ways to fuse art and technology. Well, we found a new connection, and this one is a doozy.

While trying to expand our collection of lighthouse-themed nightlights, I came across a lighthouse that is pretty local to us here at OQC. Lobster Point. Right on the Marginal Way in Ogunquit. It's not a functional lighthouse - it serves a purpose, but not for navigation - more on that at a later date. But I thought it was kinda neat, so I Googled it, and found some old photos online. And whaddya know, some of the original prints of said photos are in a storage tote in our basement. Yup... Keep reading.

Think this was just about lighthouses? Haha! Yeah, this is where we start down the rabbit hole. Just stick with me for a few more minutes, ok?

Anyone familiar with the Ogunquit/Wells area probably knows two prominent family names. One of those is Perkins. The original photos that we have were taken either by Esselyn Gilman Perkins, or by her husband, Grover Stevenson Perkins. My great-grandparents.

Esselyn wrote a few books on the history of Ogunquit and Wells, and there is a library named after her. Grover designed the lighthouse at Lobster Point (Ontio Hill), and also helped transform the Old Elm Garage into what would become the original Ogunquit Playhouse (ever heard of it?) before it found its current home on Route 1. In case you're curious, it was where the Front Porch piano bar is now, back when it was Perkins Block.

I knew Esselyn as "Grandma Perkins." I didn't know her as a historian, nor as a published author. Just Grandma Perkins. I loved visiting her at her house on Shore Rd when I was little, and I still have Christmas ornaments that I made with her when she was in her 90's. They have been on the tree every year since 1985.

This whole time, I was looking for lighthouses. What I found was mind-blowing, and I've only scratched the surface.

Really old photos present unique and difficult challenges when you try to transform them as we do here at OQC. Ask me how I know. It's been a bear. But once it happens... Well, it's tough to describe the emotion when special photos like these come to life once again.

It has to be felt.

Thanks for listening.

Hello from OQC!!! It's been a minute...

While we're here waiting for family to arrive, and for that salty chunk of delicious we call "ham" to finish cooking, we figured it was a good time to rack up the hour meters on these guys. They're cranking out some night lights you haven't seen yet.

Dinkus (see previous posts...) has seen them, and he approves.

These new additions are awesome. Trust me. I designed them. I know things. If you want to see them for yourself, come see us at Noble High on April 25 from 9-2!

From the OQC family to yours, HAPPY EASTER!

As you may know, your favorite plastic transfer technician is kind of an unreasonable boss to those poor Bambu Lab printers.

After a busy Fall/holiday season and with things ramping up again lately, our TWO printers just reached a combined 2,000 hours of print time.

That's a lot. I almost feel bad for them.

I cracked the windows and gave them water, I promise.

I guess you can call this Ep. 4?

A very eventful couple days here at OQC!

So this is us. The real us. Crystal and Jamie. Two crazy kids with an idea that became Old Quarry Crafts. Ok, I lied. We're not exactly kids.

Exciting news to share with our handful of followers (all 6-ish of you!): If you zoom in our CEO's left hand, you'll see that she said YES!

We hope your Christmas was as magical as ours.

All the best to you and your families from us at OQC.

Meet the OQC crew, Ep. 3

This is James, co-founder of Old Quarry Crafts. He's the plastic transfer technician that (usually) runs the printers and turns cool ideas into tangible objects...

This photo was captured of Jamie in his natural habitat processing our last custom order of the holiday season, just before the smoke started pouring out of those big ol' ears. He hasn't missed a deadline or broken a promise yet.

When he's not being an unreasonable boss to those poor Bambu printers, you can find Jamie out on the boat towing some overly trusting kids on tubes, or overdosing the lawn with Nitrogen. It makes the grass grow REALLY fast, but he doesn't care since the lawn tractor has cup holders.

He loves a challenge when it comes to turning ideas into 3D-printed reality, so feel free to throw some creative thoughts our way!
