Instructor:

Creating beautiful art has been a love of Heather's since childhood.   Heather’s favorite medium has been molding, shaping and building with clay which led to her discovery of precious metal clay--and she has never looked back! She finds inspiration in forms, texture and nature.  She enjoys structural elements and creating movement in her pieces. Her practical personality pushes her to design and make pieces that can be worn in many ways, so that many of her  pieces are often reversible or have a dual purpose.

Heather loves the flexibility of Art Clay Silver and passionately shares her love of creating and building with this medium.  In her previous role as an occupational therapist, Heather loved teaching others ways of doing things differently and helping them achieve their goals. Now as an Art Clay instructor, she  uses these teaching skills to help her students create their pieces and to problem solve any design challenges. She  creates and teaches in Toronto where she lives with her enthusiastic boys and supportive husband.

Heather is a Senior Certified Art Clay Instructor.
