Our story begins in the early 1950’s at the Little Elk Dairy Farm in Phillips, Wisconsin. It was there that Charles Kudrna married Marion Diedrich and began their family. As the family grew, they sold the family farm and moved to Monona, Wisconsin with all 10 children. Creativity is a strong trait amongst everyone in the family. For many years there has been discussions on how to share our visions with the world.

That dream came to fruition in July of 2024 with the opening of Little Elk Art Collective in Mineral Point.

​Each one of our family artists has a unique style and medium of work. We have stone carvers, woodworkers, crocheters, photographers, crafters and more. Every item in our shop is handcrafted by a member of the Kudrna family
