Silver Lake Road Studio

Winter 2022-23 studio jpg

Shuttle Works Studio has moved for the last time, I hope.

In December 2021 I purchased a home located at 301 Silver Lake Road, Eagle River, Wi, and we moved in mid- January 2022.  It is home to Shuttle Works Studio and Celtic Wolf Studio, as well as our home.  Studio and living space once again under one roof.  No need to go out into weather to get to my looms, no running back and forth to let pets out, in other words, convenient.  Though in a  residential area where zoning laws apply, so I can’t be open regular hours, we are still on the Northwoods Art Tour, and people may stop in by appointment.  Please see the Contact page for phone number and email.

Shuttle Works Studio was located in my former log home, on Torch Lake, just south of Conover, WI, from May 1996 to May 2019.

After purchasing weaving and related fiber arts books, as well as having subscriptions to weaving publications, I have an extensive reference library at my fingertips.  (Not all is shown in this photo!)
