Hearts for Northwood Heroes
💛 Hearts for Northwood Heroes Update!
Last night, our studio was filled with neighbors, friends, and community members who showed up in the most beautiful way.
Over 50 people came through our doors on July 1st — and together, they made more than 1,500 glass hearts.
We are overwhelmed. We are grateful. And we are so proud of this community.
We are working hard to get all those lovely hearts fired. In the meantime, we are gathering the names and contact information for every agency that responded to the Upriver Fire — and when they are ready, we'll be delivering these hearts as a collective thank-you from the Northwood neighborhood and beyond.
To everyone who came, brought food to share, stayed to chat, and poured their heart into a tiny piece of glass — thank you. You made this something we'll never forget.
We'll post an update when deliveries are complete. 🧡
