Samantha Moore

Hi There =) I’m Sam. Here I am with crazy henna hair, which I am convinced will never grow out (I’m naturally blonde)

I am brand new to New York spending the last 7 years living in Philadelphia. I grew up in Maryland and was very hands on from a young age doing everything from canning, playing music, designing miniatures of spaces I’d like to visit and making felt from the fiber of these handsome guys:

I studied interior design at Drexel University and during those four years realized I was most drawn to the studios that involved designing and creating tangible objects. I try to make in a way that leaves as little waste as possible as this was how I was taught to live growing up. We would make wind chimes from leftover copper piping and our left over food went to our chickens for a snack rather than being tossed away, for example. I sell upcycled items in my Etsy shop.

Rings made from zipper scraps:

To scale butterfly mobile using an embroidery hoop missing the outer hoop and scrap card stock left over from furniture price tags at the showroom I worked for:

I am very excited to get down and dirty making all sorts of goodies and learning new ways of making. Here you can see my website, blog, facebook and last.fm to see what I enjoy listening to.
