EveryHeartCrafts's Profile

Bio

Hi, My name is Erin Siegel. I'm a jewelry designer and ceramic artist living in Massachusetts. I found jewelry-making in 2003. Living in New England, I'm constantly inspired by the changing seasons. My designs are inspired by the natural world around me. I take inspiration from nature walks through the parks and forests near me.
In 2005, I left my full-time desk job to pursue a creative career in jewelry-making. A year later, I began working for a local bead shop! I teach a variety of jewelry-making classes, provide one-on-one instruction sessions and work with customers to create custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.
After a few years of making and teaching jewelry, a desire to make my own pendants, charms and findings grew. I considered many bead-making materials but, ultimately decided I was drawn to the earthy ceramic clays. I made my first pendants in 2007. Since then, I've been hooked on clay making pendants, charms and buttons whenever I can! I find working with the clay connects me back to the earth and reflects my love of nature.
When I first started making my ceramic pieces, I thought they would be for my own use, but the idea of someone else using my hand-made pieces in one of their own creations really excited me! That's when Every Heart Crafts was born! From my heart to yours! Making pendants, charms and buttons extends my love of jewelry and wearable arts and crafts. My intention is to share my passion for nature and the arts with the person who uses or wears one of my pieces.
