GRANT HEAPS


I first met Grant at a craft round table and was instantly charmed by his calm demeanor, jaunty bowtie and sparkling eyes.  I imagined his home to be equally delightful and was not disappointed.  His desire to collect, curate and arrange was influenced at an early age by his Grandfather Banton’s basement window-well dioramas and his Grandmother Heaps' high style on a shoe string budget in her west Toronto home.
  
Grant creates beautiful quilts and wall hangings, drawing both inspiration and scrap material from the National Ballet of Canada where he works as the assistant wardrobe coordinator.  This past summer Grant toured America by train, wearing a badge emblazoned “Textile Worker”.  He crocheted in every town, meeting fellow workers and, I’m sure, inspiring a few new ones.
