Mountain Made in Woodside

This incredible shop and tiny temple of local artistry is hidden in plain sight behind venerable Alice’s Restaurant. Nothing makes for a better stop after Alice’s than a peek into this truly amazing arts and crafts mecca. Erik Newquist’s wrought-​iron work is understated but spectacular. Even if you go away with only a postcard or a photo or a tiny bit of creative fairy dust sticking to your body, you will have spent your time and money wisely. The contrast between the gleaming, chrome-​soaked bikes nearby only adds to the quiet intimacy that you will find inside Mountain Made. It is a surprise that mine is the first Unilocal review of this place. Not for long, I suspect. If you ever attended the King’s Mt Art Fair, you should find time to stop here when the weather is foggy and the redwood rain is falling on the sacred and the profane with equal indifference.

I’m the owner of Mountain Made. We carry all locally made (from the Santa Cruz Mountain Range) art and gifts. Our artists are super talented and bring us new items every week. Stop by for a visit.
