In operation since 1938, Helen Winnemore’s focuses on the work of American Artisans.  What does this mean?  It means that our shop is like an arts festival… all year round.  We believe that art should be accessible and isn’t limited to items that hang on walls or sit on pedestals.

Art can be usable.  Art can be wearable.  Art can be — well, ART!

The work of our American Artisans shows that beauty can be found in everyday objects.  Daily routines are made rich and personal through usable, wearable art.  Consider the ritual of choosing your favorite mug from the cabinet on a Saturday morning, putting on your favorite pair of earrings, using a wooden salad bowl given to you for your wedding.  These everyday items are connected… to the artists who conceive of them, using their talent and energy in the making.  They are connected to the moment they were chosen for you, and the person who made them a gift for you.
