Also offering felted purses and cashmere scarves, jewelry, hand-knit characters and prints. Artful Apparel is my studio and shop, featuring Skylines Hand Woven by Kathleen Nutter (me). Our building is made of the rugged limestone that the Cornish used here in Mineral Point throughout the 1800's. The ancient craft of hand-weaving, set in this unique space, creates the gestalt "The whole is greater
than the sum of it's parts" one feels on entering the shop. I hand-dye natural fiber yarns, weave the fabric, then cut and sew individually designed garments on the premises. I am glad to demonstrate how the looms work anytime they are "dressed" with fabric in progress, which is almost always. We also carry willow sculpture and baskets, jewelry, prints, cashmere scarves, felted purses and woven rugs. All works are of original artisan design and construction. Regarding operation during Covid-19; It is with heavy heart that my doors remain closed until the virus is under control. I am using this time to re-build inventory after a successful first few years of business in this location. I am also considering online business, though the physical shop offers incomparable tactile experiences, and is a pleasure to be in. Meanwhile I will be glad to open by appointment for others who are avoiding spreading this virus as diligently as I try to do. We can also communicate by phone or e-mail to see how I might accommodate your wishes; [email protected] Thank you, Kathleen
