Mike Schelmeske

Grand Marais, MN
Mike's interest in Native American and Scandinavian traditions has kept him constantly pursuing boreal forest crafts and materials for project ideas. He finds utility craft particularily intriguing, and the thought of putting his crafts to work on an everyday level keeps him searching for the next project. Whether its carving toys for his daughter Aurora, or shaping canoe paddles from a crooked knife he fashioned from an old file, Mike's ingenuity and approach to craft is refreshing.
