About

Heather Donohue has been crafting since childhood. Projects included polymer clay Santas, Garfields, miniature food, and pet commissions. She’d sell at craft fairs with her mom, when she wasn’t growing a pom pom business from her fourth-grade school desk. (Her teacher told her to knock it off.)

These days, she's making vintage-inspired Christmas stockings and tree skirts from felt and sequins, tons of ornaments, and other creative commissions. She creates original content and craft projects for companies including Handmade Charlotte, Benzie Design, and oliso.  

Heather’s work has been in magazines, on stage, and online. Select pieces have been available at John Derian Company, Quirk Gallery, {verdigreen}, Parcel, and I Like You. She's mostly worked through being an introvert and now loves leading in-person craft workshops.  (They usually include sequins…and treats.)

Her craft lab is in Minneapolis, where she lives with her husband, their twins, and cavalier king charles spaniel.
