An Artisan Experience in the Unlikeliest of Places

An Artisan Experience in the Unlikeliest of Places

Northern Minnesota. Warroad. To us it is home, but evidently to some it is considered one of the unlikeliest of places where both great industry as well as great artisanal works abound. Thanks to an invitation to be part of this wonderful event this summer, we had the opportunity to meet and greet new friends and reacquaint ourselves with old friends while experiencing the arts in a whole new way in our dear hometown.

We are including a list of the featured artisans at this event below. We encourage you to contact us at info@northerntoboggan.com or to contact one of the artists directly if you are interested in their work. You will be amazed by their humble spirits, their stories and gain an understanding of the culture and heritage that is interwoven into the fabric of our small community.
