Kate Heywood

If you’ve taken a workshop with us in recent years, you’ve seen Kate in more than a few roles. Intern, Studio Assistant, Offsite Assistant and now Studio Manager and Staff Teacher. With a background in education and a love for the outdoors, assisting with the variety of the workshops WildCraft offers has allowed her to grow her passion for craft education and place-based experiences. Her love of learning about mycology and foraging was sparked with her first season with WildCraft while assisting alongside Rachel Zoller of Yellow Elanor on many forays into the forest and has continued from then on. Kate wants to encourage people of all backgrounds to be welcomed into the wonderful outdoor classroom that the Pacific Northwest has to offer!

Kate is a weaver, textile artist and forager living in Portland, Oregon. Find her on Instagram @west.coast.heywood
