About Carousel Workshop

Marsha Schloesser, owner of the CAROUSEL WORKSHOP, finalizes each carousel animal (antique or reproduction) to her customer's specifications. The antiques can be left primitive or restored and painted. Only the most highly qualified craftsmen are selected to carve the necessary pieces for restoration work.

Marsha's twenty-plus years in design, her sense of color, and love of these horses contributes to her creativity and dynamic flair as she meticulously hand paints each animal. The Carousel Workshop will work with you on design, space and color to customize your carousel animal for your home decorating.

          Her forte is locating any type of carousel that you might happen to need for your collection.
