Made Locally in Golden, CO! Après Ski Jewelry was started by a curious artist-builder-skier named Heather Mullins. A Colorado native, and graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program at Montana State University and the Masters of Fine Arts program at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Heather has run her own art, design and furniture businesses for the past 10 years. Making jewelry has always been a part of her business as she would often have small scraps of interesting raw material that turned out to be perfect for earrings and necklaces. These materials included wood, fire hose, bike tubes and of course, her favorite, skis. Skis have now become the forefront of her business.
