GIFT SEASON
WELCOME FRIENDS OF KNOX FARM STATE PARK
I am so pleased to be a part of the Knox Virtual Holiday Event as part of Artisan Alley with our friends at Borderland Art & Music Festival, which runs now until December 13th. As we navigate this holiday season closing out a truly strange 2020, it's so encouraging as an artist and a small business owner to see so many change the way they approach the decision on how and when and why to purchase. Every purchase you make from an artist or small business maker this year not only help ensure they'll be around when we get through to the other side of this thing...it restores their faith in what they do, just a little bit. No matter how small your purchase may be, I promise you we're making an honest to god little happy dance. Every time.
So Thank You for supporting the arts.
New items are being added to the shop daily, so please check back!
PELTS
SHOP IN STUDIO
Gotland sheep have been bred for centuries in Sweden as a dual purpose breed, having been brought to isle of Gotland by Viking seafarers. I am proud to offer a variety of American bred Gotland Sheep Pelts. Each is unique, and individual prices vary depending on sie, staple length and weight. Prices range from $175 starting, up to $500. All are products of yearling lamb, in an way to honor the animal by ensuring that all parts are valued and used, as opposed to mass market produced pelts. Some are suitable for garment piece work, and all are luscious and make perfect gifts. Shop the only Authentic Swedish Gotland pelts available in our area. Garment Grade tanning work and machine washable. #communicate to ask for photos of the stock for sale or to arrange a private shop in the studio in East Aurora.
