How sweetly can an awkward name sing?
What if you are a very creative individual, making the finest in hand printed textile and silk pillows, scarves and throws, but you are laboring under a heavy, old sounding name? Well, if that is your grandfather’s name and he created the business in the first place, then you smile and keep designing and printing, just like Laura Goldstein is doing at Grotta & Co in Milwaukee.
Her work is truly a traditional art that is seldom seen in the USA anymore. Her designs appear to be a very unique and classy addition to any interior design project. Maybe some fashion projects too. This little songbird pillow is just one of her many layered, many screen passes products. It is definitely about playful and interesting designs, not about volume. Must take her hours to uphold the fine workmanship of her grandfather Jacob Grotta.
