It is my pleasure to welcome you to the closest thing to coming into our store – Epicurean Crafts on the Internet.

First let me begin by describing where we are and then provide you with specific details about our product lines. The shop is located in a historic town in Virginia called Occoquan. "Occoquan" is derived from a Dogue Indian word meaning "at the end of the water." The town is located along the Occoquan River, 11 miles south of the Capital Beltway on I-95 (South) – near Washington DC. Take exit 160 onto Rt. 123 North, go 1/2 mile to the Occoquan Town entrance (make left at light).

We have over 1300 square feet of space filled with hand-crafted collectibles made by more than 80 crafters located around the country. Crafts range from small decorative wall quilts to table runners, quilted pins, and coasters to lovely applique/quilted sweatshirts. We carry many other types of hand-made crafts such as ceramics, tole painting, dolls etc., just to name a few. Please check our main url links to see the products currently offered on the web. If you would like additional information about any of these items, please send us an email.
