Heron Hill Designs is a collaborative partnership started in 2019 by Joey and Daniel. Joey, also known as Waasay Makwa Inini, is a queer Anishnaabe artist and has been drawn to beadwork since being shown the craft at a very young age from family and tribal school. Daniel is Roma-Gitane, Sinti, Asian, and Indigenous. They grew up as a self taught artist and followed that interest through a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Together their work is a blend of contemporary styles of art and older traditional woodland floral designs, many of which were passed down within the family. Heron Hill Designs focuses on creating with sustainability, respect, and conscientious consumption in mind.

For teens-adults. Held in first floor lobby.
