Meet the GWCC Members

Merriann Grant - Zippity Doodads, designer jewelry

"I handcraft my pieces from sterling silver or 14k gold, with a focus on natural semi-precious and precious gemstones. My style sweeps a wide range from fresh and clean to classical and intricate. My handcrafted designs are clean, feminine and constantly evolving. My goal is to complement the beauty of each person who wears my creations."

Nan Loncharich - Fancy Wool Flowers, fabric flowers and accessories

"I started creating flowers three years ago shortly after joining a group of rug hookers in southwestern PA. You can hook a flower in 15 minutes--compared to a rug which may take years! I enjoy adapting various techniques in creative ways."

Cia Williford - Briarwood Studio, miniatures and paper arts

"My given name is Cynthia, but people usually call me Cia or Cindy. Take your pick. *grin* I'm a children's writer, a web designer (specializing in small, affordable sites for other creative people), an artist, and I make miniatures. I guess you could say, I love to create! "

Katie Resch - Kate's Creative View, wood burning and acrylic painting

"Recently I began working with my father using his talented carpentry skills, combined with my love of painting, to create vibrant jewelry frames and barn wood cabinets. These designs incorporate a combination of bright colors blended with the dark lines of burnt wood. I enjoy finding ways to add my creative flair to functional home items!"

Helen Stetina - Helen's Treasures, needlework

Although my “specialty” now is punchneedle, I enjoy so many needlework disciplines. I love incorporating the punching with needlepoint, cross stitch, knitting, crocheting, beading, and crafting of all kinds. Give me a myriad of found objects and materials and I’ll create a “treasure”."
