Tending a Handmade Life
Greetings! I'm Kathy Van Kleeck. Join me as I share my path as a maker, creating Talismans, Jewels and Tools for a heart-centered life. My videos are a mix of musings, inspirations and demonstrations, all shared with great joy and deep gratitude ... all with the intention to inspire and celebrate the myriad ways of Tending a Handmade Life. Thanks for following along as I adjust my path as a maker, settling into our new digs in the iconic town of Woodstock, NY.
