Lurking in or around Charlottesville Virginia The Mutant is a maker and designer of things. Mute spends most every day of the month in a secluded factory setting along side skilled fabricators, artisans and craftsperson prototyping products, creating professional projects for business to personal projects for people. Rarely being seen or heard with a focus on digital manufacturing as an augmentation of traditional craftsman skills. The making of guitars is a recent focus where the bodies of work can be displayed as an art form or enjoyed as a musical instrument.
