Heather is a coastal bespoke jewelry artist from Norwich, CT. She is a lifelong beachcomber and in 2021 decided to learn silversmithing to be able to create a ring using a piece of sea glass. Her hobby quickly turned into a business. Heather creates one of a kind pieces using found treasures from the beach. She enjoys using materials such as beach stones, seaglass and wampum that have been shaped by the tides and years of constant movement of the sea. Each piece is inspired by the New England coast and thoughtfully made using quality materials and a passion for the art of silversmithing.

I make mixed-media and metal leaf paintings and handcrafted metalwork jewelry. My work is about connection: between objects and the people who wear them, and between paintings and the viewers who bring them to life. The jewelry draws on symbols shared across ancient cultures and centuries. My paintings explore the hidden meanings and unnoticed details in the world around us, using reflective materials to capture the movement of light and to connect the viewer.

“I create pieces that are unique, fun and made with only the best components. I am inspired by color and texture. I often use others artisans’ handiwork (lamp work, enamel, metalwork and ceramic) in my designs. Finding unique treasures to incorporate into my designs, from all over the world is such an adventure. A journey that brings many new friends and personalities into my designs. I have been in business for over 20 years. I still get as much joy now as I did when I first started. Changing things up as I go along. Making jewelry is my way of expressing myself and making new friends. If I can create something that speaks to someone, I look upon that as the highest compliment”.

Celebrating New England heritage through timeless Shaker Boxes and utilitarian woodworks. Tradition meets craftsmanship in every piece
Working with wood is something I have always enjoyed throughout my life, from carving to furniture making. But what I am really passionate about is shaker style woodworking, that has been my focus throughout my woodworking career.
Working peacefully in my woodshop is a way to be creative and relieve stress while producing old world craftmanship. Cherry, black walnut, and birds eye maple are the most used types of wood that are used for oval shaker boxes, chocks, serving trays and many other hand made items.
My family has enjoyed my woodworking for many years and now I want to share my shaker style woodworking with others. Contact Thomas.
Rich Longmore, who lives in Stafford has been drawing monsters since he could hold a pencil, and used to cut classes in high school so he and his nerdy friends in the “Hyborean Legion” could chuck spears at each other in the woods. He managed to pass enough classes to graduate and go on to get an illustration degree at Parsons School of Design, and now gets paid for doing the same kind of nonsense he used to get in trouble for. You can find him via his website or Facebook.
