GET INVOLVED
A Community Dream
Tibbleburrow is a true community project,
fueled by the passion of our local Wisconsin communities
and the entire global Tolkien community.
Contribute Your Artistic Talent, Join Our Growing Team, Spread the Word
Everything is being discussed openly because we believe in building this dream together.
You might be wondering?
~ Whose idea is this?
Tibbleburrow is the brainchild of Rebecca Alm, born from a shared passion for Tolkien's world
and a desire to create a tangible piece of Middle-earth here in Wisconsin.
~ Where is it going to be?
We are actively scouting locations in Southeast Wisconsin that evoke the spirit of the Shire.
Updates will be shared on our [News/Location Page].
~ Can I contribute a painting?
Absolutely! We're seeking all forms of artistic contributions.
Read more below about how to contribute your unique creations.
~ Do you have room for an old plum tree? I'm looking to donate.
Yes, we're interested in unique contributions like this! Please contact us to discuss your donation.
We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to recreate one of the most cherished towns in literary history.
Through ideas, conversations, talents, and financial support, we can all be part of
the most collaborative project ever seen!
Contribute Your Artistic Talent
A huge piece of this project is the support we want to give to our artisan community. Both local and Tolkien artisans are encouraged to pick up their paintbrushes, clay,chisels, knitting needles, and other crafting tools, and start indulging your desire to slip into the Shire! Use your talent to create anything for this project. In this time of mass-produced blankets and pottery, we want to stock Tibbleburrow with your handmade items for visitors to enjoy and purchase, with the majority of the sale going back to the artist. It may be a one-off piece or an ongoing order; the choice is yours. There will be a selection process to ensure each handmade item fits the theme, meets requirements, and passes quality inspection. As we grow and plans get finalized, lists of hobbit-hole themes and items needed will be posted, but anything you can imagine that would fit into an actual home is fair game!
Our events will also need furnishing for weddings and parties.
So start drawing up ideas and plans and sending them our way.
Join Our Growing Team
Another way you can get involved is by becoming part of our team.
We are based in Southeast Wisconsin, but as we have learned these past few years,
talent transcends location, and we can achieve so much from our own workspaces.
Our team is constantly growing, seeking hospitality professionals, marketers, lawyers, contractors, and many more. We are looking for the best professional "geeks" to be a part of this project; it's your opportunity to do what you do best while showing off your inner geek!
We want people with a passion for this project.
Let's all geek out together!
We are building our own piece of Middle-earth!
To express your interest, please contact us below at Rebecca@tibbleburrow.com

We are here to celebrate you too!
