Heather Skowood (Spoken Label, August 2024)

Latest up from Spoken Label, features Levenshulme based poet, artist,

Based in Manchester, UK I work from my home studio creating body adornments, festival decor and offer workshops for you to learn a new craft and have lots of fun.

Heather describes herself as "I am a Human, flawed and vulnerable as you.

I wonder through our shared world with an insatiable appetite for connections with people like you and experiencing things visually, mentally, physically and spiritually in unique and stimulating ways.

I love dressing up.

It helps me to let go of inhibitions and enjoy myself in ways then when I'm not dressed up. I create jewellery because I love the idea of making something that you or someone you love will wear and experience that same feeling of letting go. Adorning ourselves in a costume or with body adornments is a form of self expression and tells others a little about ourselves through a visual language that doesn't really require verbal explanation.

I love celebrations.

Birthdays, festivals, parades, demonstrations, partnership ceremonies etc. I love to be in a crowd of people celebrating each other and life. So you wcan often find me at the heart of such moments in time."
