from Slowmade: Nourishing Conversations for Jewelry Artists and Metalsmiths · host Christine Mighion
I met Heather John when she joined the Slowmade Collective many months ago and have really enjoyed getting to know her during our events. Her work is a beautiful marriage of organic and modern design, with masculine and feminine elements, and show stopping gemstones. Today we discuss Heather's journey into jewelry making not that long ago, finding inspiration from the gemstones she uses, and the therapeutic nature of crafting. Heather talks about her creative process and the joy of working with her hands, highlighting the balance between structure and creativity in art, as well as the challenges and rewards of being a maker. We also discuss the challenges of creating an online presence today while trying to find creative ways to connect with our audience.Heather on Instagram: @heatherjohnjewelryHeather’s Website: heatherjohnjewelry.comSupport an episode: Click here to learn more!Join the Slowmade Collective: Click here to learn more!Without your support I couldn’t continue the Slowmade Podcast.
