and contain messages and symbols with close personal meaning. Dreams for her are a constant inspiration and window to the subconscious. While interacting with her work, she wants the viewer to connect in a spiritual or profound way. She likes to see the beauty in the world and present it with heavy sacred overtones. Much of the imagery and inspiration for her work is derived from combining nature and sacred geometry. Her work references gothic cathedrals, 18th century alchemical texts, magic, and the pureness of beings such as honey bees and cicadas. Heather's love for insects lead her to become a beekeeper in 2006. Many of her sculptures/brooches are directly related and formed to replicate or view actual insects.

You guys, Big news!

I was invited to teach at one of my favorite places, the museum in Brockton,MA next Saturday Nov. 22nd. 11am-12:30pm

We would love to have you join us for a copper pendant making workshop. You’ll learn about the structure of copper and get to hammer your own designs on a wearable pendant strung on leather cord. You’ll learn chasing techniques and use all the chasing tools I made with my own hands. Come make a bunch of noise and a beautiful piece in an hour and a half with me.

Sign up right now on their website. The url is here and in my bio:

Happy spooky returns!

Here’s a witchy green flame to ignite your senses 🧙🏻‍♀️

I’ve been busy making a bonkers amount of custom work, and some new rings for Open Studios - which is coming up. Put it in your calendars, Nov 1st & 2nd (10-5) both days and it’s daylight savings weekend, right after Halloween.

I made my first wedding crown this year! I’m currently working on a new engraving technique - gold inlay. I get to make all the tools I use for engraving. I’ve been really pushing myself to learn new techniques for my projects this year and it’s some good growing all around.
Libraries are pretty pumped on my new night light workshops, so those are booking in fast. The work feels really satisfying, and there’s a lot of it, so that’s great.

Besides making all the shiny tinys, I’ve been learning how to grow food this year! We harvested tons of tomatoes, grew blue flower corn, I learned how to plant and dig potatoes and sweet potatoes. We put in apple trees, a black locust hedge and raspberries and blueberry shrubs, among many other things that were unfortunately decimated by beetles! It’s been a labor of love on our new property and it’s really fulfilling and a TON of work. We just got two new barred rock chickens to add to our flock (need some names for them - suggestions welcome)

Baby Kitty has got a new adventure vest and gets to go outside again, but super safely with us on a leash. It’s amazing to see her explore the garden and play in the corn field. I swam a lot this summer, went to Maine, traveled around to a million libraries teaching and am continuing to do so and have dates booked into next summer. Just wanted to fill you in and show you I’m still here, crushing it behind the scenes and off social media for the most part for my mental health. I’ll try to update more often, but if you need me, just email or call to say hi!

I miss you all and hope you’ll come to Open Studios.

Library Workshops 2024: I’m getting all the materials ready for a big bunch of library workshops through the end of December! I’ve also got so many more planned for 2025. If you’d like to enroll yourself of your child in any of these classes, they are age specific - most of them. Tween/ teen workshops anyone 10+ and Adult workshops. The schedule is on slides 2 & 3. You can call or email the library to secure your spot, but they go fast and usually have a waitlist, so give them a call and let’s make some beautiful copper projects together this fall and winter. The other photos are from some recent libraries I’ve traveled to and I just love teaching in different places. Hope to see you all soon - let’s hammer out all those big feelings into some art. ⚒️💖✨🙌🏻🌈

Love,
Heather

Hey everyone, it’s Heather!

I want to thank you all for your love and support as we head into this holiday season. Big love to everyone who came to Open Studios and for placing your custom orders with me. I’m so grateful for you! I’m working hard on your custom projects and also packing our house as we prepare to move to Greenfield. I’m teaching 6 more library workshops in Nov & 11 workshops in December, so I’ll also be traveling a lot. If you were excited about taking a free copper ornament or bookmark making workshop, stay tuned for the schedule.

Who knew that the year I turned 40 would have so much change in store! All that is to say, I’m taking a social media break, so I can be more careful with how I’m spending and managing my energy. I will pop on here and there to check messages, but I am too overwhelmed with the feed and the endless scrolling to be here regularly. If you want to purchase presents for the holidays, you can purchase my work and at in Easthampton and for those of you in the Delaware Water Gap area. I have a large selection of work at my studio for you to choose from and you simply need to email or call for an appointment to come in and shop. I’d love to see you in person :) So, please stay in touch! I’m still here and want to be connected to you all. 💖

To stay in touch: [email protected]
If you have my number, you can call or text me

Be well and take care of yourselves
Tell your friends you love them 💖

I’ve been waiting to see the Aurora Borealis since my childhood! Last night was so magical, I can’t believe these were taken from the top of our outside stairs looking at Mt. Tom under this magnificent glow. It’s been a super intense month, and this has really made my whole time feel more joyful.

Big News: We are in the process of selling our beautiful home in Easthampton and will be moving to Greenfield by the 1st of Jan. Don’t worry, my studio is staying put for now, I’ll still be in Easthampton. If you want to move to downtown Easthampton, Check out realtor.com - there’s an Open House Sunday 11-1pm.

Hope you’re all enjoying the fall! 🍁🍂🎃

Hey all! We’re in the Reach Goals part of our patronicity campaign and there’s 4 days left to contribute if you feel moved to donate. We are so grateful to you all for your donations, love, and support!!

Some of the items we need to make this project complete were not deemed Capital Investments by MGCC, but we still need them to make our setup work. These include lighting for the student work bench, several crucibles and scales for our casting setup and smaller tools for my students. Any amount is helpful and we love and appreciate you forever. 💖

Check out the page by clicking the link below, I made a cool video that explains what all the funding goes towards and how it will impact and improve my business and our community. Thank you so much!

Transforming my studio with new equipment for casting legacy jewelry, teaching ring making workshops, and stone setting with engraving tools.
