Mahone Bay's curated home for handmade Maritime jewellery, art & giftware

Since 1989 — artisan pieces you won't find in a mall or a big-box store, gathered under one roof on the Mahone Bay waterfront.

The Collection

A few pieces catching the light

Every piece in the gallery is chosen by hand — handmade jewellery, original Maritime art, pottery and one-of-a-kind giftware from artisans across the region. Here are a few of them.

Our Story

Thirty-seven years of following the light

Northern Sun opened in 1989 in Pictou County, and found its home on the Mahone Bay waterfront in 2003. As the collection grew, so did the gallery — a thousand square feet were added in 2008 to make room for more of the artisans we love.

What hasn't changed is how everything gets here: chosen one piece at a time. The jewellery, the seascape paintings, the pottery and the handmade giftware are gathered from Maritime artisans — the kind of work you won't find in your local mall or big-box store.

What We Carry

From the cases to the walls

A gallery's worth of handmade work — each piece catching the light a little differently.
