Heidi grew up in an artistic household. She learned to sew, knit and weave before going off to college to further her study of weaving and dying. She has spent her life increasing her knowledge of different techniques. She has experimented with most fiber processes and loves to combine them to achieve her desired end. Wire jewelry and surface design have become a part of the repertoire over the past 15 years. She conducted her first workshops in the mid 70’s, took time off for family, and now loves to share her knowledge through teaching.
