About Us
Mielke’s Fiber Arts, LLC was started in 1997 by the Mielke family. It is now co-owned by the Mielke sisters, Amy (Mielke) Dressel and Andrea Mielke Schroer. We couldn’t do it without the gracious support of our husbands, parents, and brother Adam.
Our shop is located in the bucolic, rolling hills of New Lisbon, Wisconsin, about a half-hour northwest of the famous Wisconsin Dells. As sisters, wives, and mothers, our lives and business is rather intertwined. We see our shop as an extension of ourselves and our lives. If you call or stop by, you’ll see it is really is a family affair, as we run our business out of our homes, with our children by our sides.
We are dedicated to providing a knowledgeable source of supplies and tools for fiber artists. We also offer instruction in the various textile arts, primarily through one-on-one classes, but also in group settings at our studio, or at your guild or event.
