Molly Hatch The daughter of a painter and an organic dairy farmer, Molly's childhood was divided between physical labor, play and creating art. After formally studing drawing, printmaking and ceramics at the Museum School in Boston as an undergraduate and receiving a Masters in ceramics at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Molly has settled into a life of making and designing from her home studio in Northampton MA. Molly is an artist-designer, creating everything from fabric patterns, furniture, jewelry, prints, pen and ink drawings and paintings in addition to a career exhibiting her artwork internationally. Molly's line of homewares was launched in 2011 in collaboration with Philadelphia-based retailer Anthropologie and continues to develop with new products each season. She is currently working on her first book! Heather Ross Heather Ross grew up in an extremely isolated corner of northern Vermont known as The Northeast Kingdom. Her family lived in an 18th century one-room schoolhouse that had once served a long-vanished mountain community and was by then home to a prolific family of proud but disorganized house gnomes, for whom Ross learned to sew and knit during the long winters. Today Heather is an illustrator, author, and textile designer with a large following in the crafts and sewing markets. Her textile designs are among the most recognizable in the retail fabric market and are a favorite among home sewers of clothing, accessories, and decor for children. Heather wrote Weekend Sewing, a best-selling how-to sewing book. She teaches sewing and crafts to women and girls of all ages through her popular sewing retreats. Heather's client list includes a wide range of product lines and companies, including high end home decor and fashion fabrics for Kokka of Japan, paper goods for Chronicle Books, original artwork for Polar Bears International, for whom she acts as artistic ambassador, and even surfboards (Walden Surfboards, Artists Series Signature Line). Heather Ross's home and studio are in New York City.
