Go, Gocco, Go!
By day Heather Toupin is a textile designer for a large upholstery mill. By night she is a screenprinting machine, creating fun graphics for custom stationery. At her Etsy shop you’ll find flat cards to wedding invitations. Heather enjoys collaborating with others to invent new ideas and thrives on trying something different in order to bring something special to her customers.
In addition to her day job and running her successful online store, Heather and her husband recently purchased a coffee shop in her hometown of Providence, Rhode Island (if you’re ever in the area drop by White Electric).
Heather’s love for her Print Gocco machine, which has been in her posession for 10 years now, is great and she is praying that it’ll be kept alive. Ever since the news of the Print Gocco being discontinued, artists everywhere have been devastated. She vows to continue to put ink on paper no matter what the process will be because that is her love.
Check out some of my favorite designs of Heather‘s at her shop now.
