The Purple Turtle Artisan Collective

Incomparable little art boutique featuring a select few local artists in different media. The personable owner is a singularly effective promoter of her town and well worth spending a few extra moments for conversation. Every now and then the Purple Turtle Artisan Collective takes its proverbial show on the road for a pop-up store incarnation which is how I first encountered it, and her. So, how I first encountered them, the store and Amanda Scholz, the owner. I'm not sure if I'm clarifying, so I'll move on. If you're within an hour or two drive, or if you have the time to take a little diversion between the Twin Cities and Milwaukee, very well worth your time. However you won't be able to get the unique Sarasvati water color on canvas because I picked up the last one.

So glad I found this great local artist shop. The owner was so helpful in telling me about how to use the snippets of yarn. Very inspiring. Lots of pottery, fiber art, jewelry, just about everything.
