Jenna Freimuth hasn't added a story.

Who are the Wondermakers?!

We are Jenna Freimuth and Mindy Meyers. Two artists who went to the same college at different times, connected on social media, loved each other's artwork, and wondered what we could make together. So in 2015, we founded The Wondermakers Collective, a long-distance abstract embroidery project.

Our work has been featured in Uppercase Magazine, The Surface Design Journal, The Encyclopedia of Inspiration: Yarn, Thread String, The Saint Kate Arts Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and our project will be on display in the XIV Florence Biennale in Florence, Italy this October 2023! 

Learn more about the XIV Florence Biennale at the Fortezza Da Basso in Italy!

How can you be a part of our success?

Like most international show opportunities, safely shipping and securing our work to the Biennale will be a heavy expense. It’s a chance to exhibit our largest work and champion our project among other celebrated contemporary artists.  Along with our work, we’d like to travel to the show’s opening reception and participate in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our embroideries regularly travel between Michigan and Minnesota, but you can help our art travel the farthest it’s ever been!

Your sponsorship will help fund shipping our art to Italy and back, filing customs and documentation fees, exhibition participation fees, and travel expenses for us to see our work in such a prestigious setting!

Here’s how you can show your support for our art adventure: 

  • $10  Blow us a kiss, wish us “ Addio prodigio”,  and call ‘er a day!
  • $15  You are drawn to the call of wonder and can’t wait to help us get where we never thought possible.  We will thank you with an “I’m a Wondermaker” 2x2 sticker so you can show off your belief in big dreams. 
  • $50   It’s not enough to send us to Italy; you are a bonafide creative comrade, and just like us, coffee(or tea!) fuels you. With this contribution, we’ll send you a custom Wondermaker Coffee mug.  And together, we will cheer from afar. 
  • $175  Hey, Champion! We see you over there, excited by how our art collaboration dares you to dream. And, you not only want to watch us succeed, but you wouldn’t mind a piece of the project. With this contribution, we will send you one of our 4” Wondermaker Hoops (the selection will be a surprise!), a sticker, and a mug! You are officially a part of our Club of Collectors. Welcome! 
  • $250   Your own Wondermaker Kit and Facetime with us! Do you want to try your very own Wondermaker hoop? We'll send you one of our 3" hoop kits (started by one of us!), and you can decide how to finish it! We will celebrate your creative adventure with a one-hour, one-on-one Facetime!
  • $2,500   Be a Wondermaker XIV Florence Biennale Sponsor! (ONLY TWO ARE AVAILABLE) Your name and logo will be represented next to our work, listed in the event catalog (sent worldwide), presented at the event, and viewed by thousands! Happen to be headed to Italy? You'll get tickets to the exhibit! As an extra thank you, we will also send you a 4" Wondermaker Hoop (the selection will be a surprise!), a sticker, and a mug! 
  • $5,000  Quello Grande! This level grants you our prized 23-inch hoop! Own a piece of our project where we learned how powerful scale and sequins could be! As an extra thank you, we will also send you a sticker and a mug!

More about our art project: 

Through a pen-pal collaboration, we build embroideries by responding intuitively to each other's mark-making. Embroidery is a medium that allows us to work in unity and experiment with various techniques. We use felt as our matrix, covering the fabric with applique, sequins, and seed beads until vibrantly complex. Our work is known to be colorful, abundant, and shimmering with layers of texture and embellishment. Responsive mark-making guides our aesthetic to be dense and clustered, often with little negative space. Finished pieces result from our spontaneous process - disrupting one another to swap works and improvise what is added next.  

For over seven years, we have nurtured sacred space to allow this project to bloom and become what it is today, artistically and interpersonally. As a result, we are not only art collaborators watching how our styles collide but also best friends and have a relationship kin to a sisterhood.

Your own Wondermaker kit and Facetime with us!
$250 USD + free shipping
Ships Worldwide

You wanna stitch with us? Are you up to the challenge of finishing your own wondermaker hoop?? 

We will mail you a Wondermaker Kit (valued at $55) and you will get a one-hour, one-on-one facetime with Mindy and Jenna (priceless!). 

  • Here are important details about each Wondermake Kit: 
    • In this abstract embroidery kit, we’ve started the 3” hoop and provided you with various materials similar to what we use in our work. Now, bringing your unique style to the hoop is up to you, and choosing what to add next. What will you do with the color palette? Do you want to change an area on your hoop? Add layers! Felt can be cut into different shapes and added as applique. Go crazy with stitches. Try some French knots. Your finished piece is yours to keep and an expression of your curiosity. WELCOME TO THE WONDERMAKER CLUB!

      **PLEASE NOTE** Any hoops or materials in listing photos DO NOT indicate what will be sent. This is an extension of our art project and embraces our artistic process. One of us will start your kit and arrive with stitches already in place. Like our collaboration, YOU WILL NOT KNOW which hoop is headed your way or the color of the materials. But that is the beauty of the process. Embrace the wonder and the mystery of pen-pal art!

      EACH WONDERMAKER KIT INCLUDES

      One MYSTERY 3” embroidery hoop with felt started by Jenna or Mindy
      A random assortment of sequins
      Two needles
      A random assortment of embroidery floss
      A random assortment of felt applique pieces
      Project Instruction Card
      An “I’m A Wondermaker!” sticker

      A FEW EXTRA NOTES: Familiarity with embroidery is encouraged. Sharp needles and small pieces are included, so this kit would not be suitable for young children.

      Packaged with care in a shimmery, sturdy bubble mailer.
  • Facetime meetings must be scheduled within six months of receiving your kit.
