  • 5/5 from Dewi Novianty, attended Feb 2026: Heather ran a workshop for 23 of us. She was arrived early to set up, had everything we expected and more, was fun and patient with everyone. She was organized, kind, professional, very patient, and everyone was full of praises. We can’t wait to see the mugs when they are glazed!
  • 5/5 from Cyndi Fosco, attended Jun 2025: Heather our Our GDB Windy City Guide Dogs group had a fantastic time at Heather McQueen‘s studio today! She was so kind and caring to our group of six people and four guide dogs. Her space is so clean and well stocked! We learned how to do hand building and she also taught us how to use the pottery wheel! Heather is so talented, both as an artist and as a teacher. She’s very patient and clear with her instructions. This was such a memorable experience-Thank you for a wonderful afternoon Heather!!

I am a ceramic artist and teacher with over 30 years of experience. My main love is the potter's wheel but I enjoy handbuilding just as much! I encourage students to remain open to changes, embrace them, and look for lessons in both successes and failures.
With my work, I’m really interested in how we form connections, and where those lead us, in this present moment. Aside from my own explorations in functional and sculptural vessels, I am known as a drum-maker.
