Forge Side Chat

EP 148 with Heather Lawrie of Heavy Metal Heather in West Brooklyn, Nova Scotia, Canada Ladies and gents, this week we sit down with an amazing metal artist from the East coast of Canada. This lady has her game figured out! She has a good story of growing up as a hard working girl with parents that did a good job guiding her. With the knowledge she has gained over her year of working in the family business as well as having a husband who owned a machine shop(which her son has now taken over) she has a good hand in business. All of the culminated into her become one heck of a metal artist when she one day began to play with a welder and plasma cutter. She found a new love and combined that with her knowledge of painting to begin making some absolutely stunning pieces. It was our absolute pleasure to sit down and get to know Heather. We laughed and shared some great info. Hopefully you get a few chuckles and walk away with some inspiration of your own! Thank you to everyone that listens and follows the show!
