Mary's Favorites (shops and resource links)

Below is a list of art shops and resources that I love and want others to check out:

Arts in Hand Gallery - This is a local gallery in Spooner, Wisconsin, where I sell my original batiks, prints and "idea pads." I hope you will stop sometime to see all the amazing work created by over 40 local Wisconsin artists.

Duluth Folk School - The Duluth Folk School provides people with the opportunity to use their heads, hearts, and hands to improve their lives. In essence, they are a school for people that focuses on using tools and knowledge to express skills through hand crafting. It is their hope to blend traditional skills and tools with modern day tools and techniques to deliver fantastic, fun classes. It’s all about helping you discover your creative abilities and developing skills.

I sell prints, "idea pads" and frameable art cards at DOVETAIL MARKETPLACE AND CAFE, which is attached to the Folk School on the west side of Duluth. It's a great little coffee shop and cafe showcasing the artwork of many local artists in their marketplace!

Wishingstone Woods - My sister's Etsy site. She inspires me every single day!!

Wishingstone Woods has been my business for many years. I started with jewelry, expanded to a

shop with local gifts and art, added in mystery books and then came full circle back to jewelry. Each

piece is "One of a Kind Designed".

Nations Photo Lab - Check out their site for professional printing services. Great quality and reasonable prices.

Chipmunk Hollow Studio - This is one of my favorite jewelry artist from Arts in Hand Gallery.

As her studio name implies, the luckiest chipmunks in the world live outside Jannifer’s studio. Jannifer lives with and draws inspiration from the peace, serenity, beauty and solitude of her surroundings. In 2000 she began

making beaded jewelry which was well received at shows. Then, a brief class in 2007 with a local goldsmith

sparked her interest in metal. In 2017 Jannifer began to incorporate color into her metal pieces and has been

enameling ever since!

Canva - Look no further for all your design needs! I love this site!!!

Bee Balm Handiwork - Bee Balm Handiwork includes work by potter/sculptor Theresa Hendrickson. She is also a favorite artist of mine at Arts in Hand Gallery.

Joan's Joules - I love Joan's handmade jewelry and hand-crafted gourds.

Joan makes handmade, uniquely designed jewelry from silver dinnerware, sea glass, and beads.

Her work is available at Arts in Hand Gallery in Spooner, WI.

Liz Alberg - You need to stop in Arts in Hand Gallery and see Liz's fused glass creations. They are amazing!!!

Liz is passionate about teaching the art of fused glass.  She recently completed her studio and looks forward to sharing it with other artists.  Her work is for sale at Arts in Hand Gallery in Spooner WI.  She is available for instruction and classes.  Also she enjoys doing design, creations and commission work. She is a fused glass artist and does custom art design.

Gather Pottery and Art Studio - Laura Kim is a very talented artist and good friend of mine. We worked together at Glenwood City School District.
