"I have been making things my whole life. My mom has all sorts of goodies that I made on my own as early as age three. You could say being crafty and working with my hands is in my blood, my mother is very crafty and my grandmother is well known in the basket community for her miniature baskets. I ended up in the Art Department at Appalachian State, by way of my initial major, interior design. I loved it so much I switched majors and found my passion in the small metals and fibers department."
-Erin Hinckley
Erin uses only sterling silver and gemstones in her jewelry. Her focus is fabricating the silver by using hammering and metal forming techniques. All of the Treehouse Creatures are Erin's own designs.
