Wrap Up With Weaving
If the inclement weather of late has you escaping to Chik-Wauk, you might be tempted to wrap up in some of the weaving on display in the gift shop.
Three very talented local weavers have their weaving for sale at Chik-Wauk.
Doris Durey spends her summers on the Gunflint Trail. She has a number of scarves for sale at Chik-Wauk, including a collection of tartans which reflect her Scottish heritage. She holds a Master of Fine Arts with an emphasis on weaving from the East Tennessee State University.
Annie Greeno can often be founding fishing on a Gunflint Trail lake, winter or summer. When she’s not fishing, she’s weaving rugs on her 60-year-old loom which she purchased from the previous owners of Tuscarora Lodge.
Lennie Sobanja has operated Sugarbush Fiber Arts since 1994 on Maple Hill, just outside of Grand Marais. She learned weaving in Stockholm, Sweden in 1977-78. She weaves a wide variety of items, including place mats, blankets, rugs, curtains, and table clothes. Currently one of each her rugs and blankets can be found at Chik-Wauk.
