Kate Stockman creates TouchStones Anecdotal Art (each piece tells a story; perhaps it touches your story) including handmade assemblage jewelry and immersive playshops in Western North Carolina. Each creation is made with attention to detail that carries a story, rooted in the sacred, the Feminine, and Nature, offering meaningful artisan gifts for women, collectors, and those who cherish story-driven creations.

Inspired by the healing power of art and beautiful gems from Mama Earth, Kate crafts Re-Imagined Heirlooms, creating generational keepsakes that honor personal histories and passages. (Please let her know how you feel when you are wearing one of her pieces!)  

In her “Happy Mirthday” greeting card series, Kate honors the Feminine at all ages using antique photographs or her own digital collages. Who do you know who could use a smile today?

Kate is a former English teacher (as she says, “Teachers never die, we just lose our faculties!”) and teaching is another passion of hers. We are living in a world where self-expression is not encouraged or supported; art is one of the few ways we have to express our Selves.

Through her creative playshops (we’re not working, so why call them workshops?) and art-based community sessions, Kate fosters immersive experiences where creativity and connection flourish. Whether engaged in a playshop, a sacred Circles and Ripples, or her local free Collage Playshops, participants experience the joy of creating their own handmade art rooted in their own story.
