History
Established in 1980.
Heirloom Art Studio, owned by Kathryn Rutherford, opened in Canada, in 1980, and achieved international recognition for award-winning original fine art, portraits, and photographic and fine art restoration.
The Studio was relocated to East Tennessee in 1996 where Outstanding Expectations retail gallery was added to supply customers with a unique offering of handmade and specialty products and original fine art.
When the current location, in Wears Valley, Tennessee, was purchased, in 1999, Sword and Ivy and Creative Geekdom online shopping stores were created to service gaming and «geek» clients as well as alternative lifestyle and religion customers seeking unique new age and mystical products.
Mystic Ink Custom Screenprinting & Dye Sublimation was formed in 1993, by Greg Rutherford, who is the former owner of Squeegee Graphics, French Lick, Indiana, and has over thirty-five years of experience and technical support in the custom screenprinting industry.
