Admission to the Museum Store is always free. The Museum Store is open even when the galleries are closed for exhibit installation.

Our love of textile arts and all things beautiful extends to the Museum Store, where you will find delightful gifts that are sure to tickle the most discerning people on your gift list (including you!). No gift touches the heart like one that bears the hand of its maker, and here you’ll find handmade selections for men, children, teens and women.

Focusing primarily on unique works by local artists, the Museum Store features selections by weavers, quilters and other innovative fiber artists. And it’s not just about textiles – come to the Museum Store for artist-made jewelry, cards, books, unique toys and handmade wood objects at all prices – from $2 up.

Come often because the selection is constantly changing!

Museum members enjoy a 10% discount!

All proceeds from Museum Store sales directly support the Museum and its exhibitions and programs.

Anticipating our summer exhibit Beyond Knitting: Uncharted Stitches on view June 17 through August 24, the Museum Store is delighted to offer hand knit and crocheted jewelry by Beyond Knitting featured artist Karen Searle. Her vibrant bracelets and necklaces are made with copper or silver-plated wire, often incorporating bead within the design. You can see more of Karen’s sculptural work at www.karensearle.com.

Marian Clayden garments are a big hit! After the winter exhibit of Marian’s work, many of her beautiful garments flew out of the store. There is still time to add to your collection. Try on a Dragonfly Tunic or Duster. Add flare to your outfit with a Marian Clayden belt or scarf. And top it all off with a chiffon chemise or a velvet beret!

There are over 20 new artists in the Museum Store: Come see the exquisite hand-dyed shibori and knit scarves, blown glass bead jewelry, children’s dolls, new books, greeting cards, and more.

The many beautiful items that we have make great Mother’s Day, graduation, and wedding gifts.
