About Us

SIFT and Winnow
Jewelry Studio, Boutique and Workshop, curated by Linda Winther owner of Sift and Winnow, handmade copper enamel jewelry.

Sift and Winnow is the atelier of featured, copper enamel jewelry artist, Linda Winther. Linda focuses on color, line and shape to inform the jewelry she creates. Choose from a seemingly endless array of hues. Searching for that perfect color? This is a good place to look.

While Sift and Winnow currently showcases much of Linda’s jewelry, the intent for the brick and mortar shop is to present a carefully curated collection of lifestyle items to enrich your everyday moments. Linda naturally shares her Scandinavian heritage through her aesthetic and will gladly teach you the proper way to say “hygge”. As her favorite candle company, Skandinavisk, says, “Living more Scandinavian is not just which part of the world you come from, it’s also how you think, how you treat others and the nature that surrounds you, and what you treasure.” At Sift and Winnow you will find handmade jewelry, candles, books, journals, crystals, minerals, stickers, enamel pins, vintage items, pottery, wooden creations, rain ponchos, greeting cards, boxed cards, planners, etc. Sift and Winnow is a place to enjoy and take away a fresh outlook.

For a decade, Linda was the driving force behind the iconic “Shakti Bookshop” on State Street in Madison, WI. For the last 25 years Linda has been selling her handmade jewelry at art shows throughout the Midwest and nearly every Saturday at the top of State Street during the Dane County Farmers Market season.
