What is ShopART?

ShopART Midwest is an artist-centric, non-commission gallery that connects Midwest artists to the buyers who appreciate living with the arts and handcrafted items. This is a service by Twin Rivers Council for the Arts supporting our local culture makers and making it easier for anyone to bring special, handmade arts into their lives. 

Pegeen Rozeske

Most people have never experienced a shoe made specifically for their foot. Nothing pinches; nothing rubs. If you find shoes that fit at the "marts", you are not looking for me. A properly fit shoe makes walking easier; does not cause back problems; lasts a long time and is repairable. I make beautiful shoes and boots to fit a specific person's feet. Leather that breathes and craftsmanship that endures combine for an unique experience. Educating people that these are still valued qualities still practiced is why I demonstrate the Art and Mystery of a Cordwainer. The Gentle Art of shoe making is still done. At the Mankato Makerspace I teach classes in both Shoemaking and general leatherwork.
