Nest & Tessellate is a contemporary folk arts practice informed by Midwestern heritage, grounded in place and celebrating seasonal cycles of growth. I serve children of all ages, inclusive feminists reclaiming roots and those interested in contemporary expressions of Norwegian, Irish and Croatian-inspired American folk arts. We humbly live and work on lands that are the traditional birthright of the Dakota people. In light of this historical truth, we contribute a portion of our annual proceeds to Mni Sota Makoce Honor Tax.
