My name is Heather and I'm nervous as heck! I am a strange mix of introvert with a strong desire to meet and really get to know as many people in my life as possible! The fact that you took time out of your busy day to be here blows my mind. It can't get much cooler than this! I'm truly grateful, and hope we'll get to know each other more. Please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments section below or shoot an email to me at dirttrailstudio@gmail.com! I'd love to know your name and a bit about you too!

A little about me, my work and the Dirt Trail:

First, the "Dirt Trail" of my studio name comes from my love of nature, hiking and being somewhere along a dirt path. Since I can't always be hiking or camping outside, I decided to bring the dirt inside to the studio and walk the trail with my hands, essentially! While clay isn't exactly dirt, it's a little more refined than that, it's close enough for me! Of course, there's more, even deeper meaning to it than this, but this is an intro. and I'm nervous (being the introverted extrovert, or extroverted introvert that I am) so we'll start simple.

Second, I consider what I do (and who I am) to always be a work in progress. This isn't to say that the things I make are never complete, but that each piece is created with the highest standards of my ability with all my heart and is one-of-a-kind. The things I make are on a journey along with the rest of me! One step leads to another place and so on. At it's best, it is a progression with no regrets. What I create one day is no lesser than what I create the next day just because it is different. My goal is to embrace each moment where I am, as I am. I embrace my work in the same way. I strive for the relationships in my life to function similarly.

Trail buddies make the journey what it is! Thanks for visiting along the way!
