Kathleen Heyward

Kathleen has been dreaming up and creating beautiful things as far back as she can remember. Her grandmother taught her to knit when she was about eleven and she’s been happily knitting & playing with fibers and fabrics ever since. She graduated from Miami University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking and painting and later earned a certificate in Biblical Studies at Columbia International University (SC). Gem and Clay is a dream job for her! She is thrilled to work around beauty with such talented and inspiring people! Kathleen finds inspiration in nature and people. She also loves dabbling in mud (ceramics) on occasion cooking and baking gluten free deliciousness in her kitchen. Kathleen makes her cozy home in Ohio with her husband. They have two grown married children (all creative and compassionate human beings).
