Its been a time of pruning at Eden® this year. While we didn’t prune all the way down to our roots, that is where we started as they are key to our fundamental identity.

In 1963, describing the shop she visioned, Eve Carey wrote,” In the beginning, there was Eden. A small part of the Garden still remains on Route 6A in Dennis. As in any garden, here one finds flowers, fruit and insects, and of course, in Eden, friendly beasts and birds fashioned in several media. As expected, you will also find Eve. Noted for her unique Majolica, she fashions high temperature pottery painted with many colored glazes.”

During this 2025 transition process, we also considered the intense dislike of our ticketing system. Everyone, including staff, owners, and customers, hated the procedure needed to process the thousands of ticket requests we got every day. This was especially difficult due to the high number of people who tried to subvert the process.

So, to keep a small part of Eden’s® garden open on Route 6A in Dennis, Eden Hand Arts® will open a new online Etsy shop  (US sales only) beginning July 2 for all our jewelry that will still, as always, be individually made by hand. Also, on July 2, our physical shop will open as usual (TICKETS REQUIRED), but this year, we will sell only majolica pottery produced through Eve’s formulas and other media and other art, not jewelry. The “Onesie” line will be replaced by an outdoor station for Tags, Repairs, Exchanges for size, and Exchanges for refund (the T.R.E.E. Line, TICKETS REQUIRED) for Eden jewelry sold before 2025.

While it is probable that we will not need any tickets at all, to be sure, we are starting the 2025 season with a simplified ticketing system that will make procuring tickets much easier.

Location

Eden Hand Arts® is located at the corner of Doctor Lords Rd. (number 2), US Route 6A and Sesuit Neck Road, approximately one mile west of Route 134 and one mile east of the Dennis Playhouse.

PLEASE NOTE: We do no business of any kind through the mail (for purchases made in person at the shop pre 2025)—including email, the web or over the phone—no repairs, NO TAGS, no exceptions. We do stand behind what we sell 100% but the item or return must be brought to us when we are open. Please see our FAQ regarding jewelry purchased from on Etsy for the Etsy return policy as it is different. We DO NOT sell replacement TAGS through Etsy regardless of when you purchased your jewelry. You will need to book a T.R.E.E. ticket to replace a tag on an Etsy purchase.

Parking

There is a small parking area in front, another behind our sign and a third off Dr. Lords Road. Please park in designated spaces. Do not park on any streets as you will get fined. Please respect our neighbors and do not turn around in their driveways.

Payment

We ONLY accept cash or checks. We do not accept credit or debit cards.
