Let’s Visit Kelliher: Rose Heim on Heim-Made, Kelliher Spirit & Art Education

Minnesota Arts, Culture and History | Northern Community Radio – KAXE & KBXE
Rose Heim moved to the Kelliher area to teach k-12 art at Kelliher School in the 1970s. She retired from her teaching career in 2008, but hasn't stopped working or creating. Starting with horse blankets when her daughter Gretchen was a young girl, Rose and Gretchen began co-designing things they needed but couldn't find in stores. Over the decades, that inspired, do-it-yourself attitude has carried them from horse blankets to women's wear. In the early 2000s, Gretchen craved a short, down skirt for her outdoor adventures and so began Heim-Made: Where Haute meets Cold. In this segment of Let's Visit, Rose discusses the history and trajectory of Heim-Made, the 1946 Spartan camper trailer she modified into a traveling storefront, the spirit of the Kelliher area that she loves so much, and the real-world value of art education.
