Statement

Frippery Factory
Northfield, Minnesota

Seventeen-year-old Amelia Schmelzer has been sculpting miniature food for almost half of her life. What started as mooshing clay into little pies according to the directions found in a library book has evolved into a small business that is now her high school job.

One of Amelia's guiding principles as an artist is to play with the connections we all have to food. Conjuring memories of an idyllic Saturday breakfast or a favorite birthday cake is the magic the miniature food performs. From miniature tater tots for dollhouse collectors to cannoli earrings for Italian food fanatics, Amelia's tiny food can be found in private collections around the world. She hopes to evoke good times and good eats by creating tiny, eye-catching versions of real dishes.
