female Women-owned

Hi! I’m Holly - your friendly neighborhood workshop host, with a super-power for crafting. I’ve loved ‘making things’ since I was a little girl, and throughout my life it has continued to be both my passion and sometimes, my job. I’ve even been fortunate enough to have had some of my work sold in local art galleries and featured in national magazines, but creating simply for joy is where I find true peace.
That’s why I started Gather, as a way to slow down in a world that often feels noisy and overwhelming. A space to connect at a time where so many of us feel disconnected. So much of modern life pulls us away from the present moment. Working with our hands requires us to be here, now. It draws our attention away from the noise and back into our bodies. For me, it’s long been the key to protecting my peace.
I hope Gather becomes a place where you, too, can step away from the noise, create without pressure, reconnect with creativity, and leave feeling more joyful than when you arrived
