Heather Kegel graduated in June 2015 with a BFA in studio art from the University of Denver. After graduation, Heather slowly began assembling her own studio, purchasing a wheel and installing a kiln in her parent’s sun-porch. As a regular studio practice emerged, she dedicated more and more time to her craft, continuously scaling back time at side jobs, and now works full time as a potter. Heather is a member of the Boulder Potter’s Guild, and participates in all Guild shows and sales. She teaches classes at the Guild and Wheelhouse Clay in Longmont.

Heather has shown in a number of local and national galleries, including Plinth Gallery, Redline, Muse Gallery, Pottery Northwest, the Firehouse Art Center, Flower City Arts Center, Pirate: Contemporary Art, and Charlie Cummings Gallery.

Virtual Studio Tours are 30 min interactive programs that explore local contemporary artist studios. Artists take viewers behind the scenes of their studio practice with insights into their processes, inspirations and artwork. Moderated by BMoCA’s Associate Curator of Community Engagement this Instagram Live series is an initiative to support local artists and give viewers the opportunity to take a closer look at art practices and ask questions to contemporary artists.
