Hi, I’m Bridget Davis, the rad person behind Heathen Works, Wood Burned Goods and am based out of Winchester, VA. I started wood burning about three years ago and have completely fallen in love with this medium. Like many great things, Heathen Works started out as an idea among friends around a campfire. Thanks for the support. Enjoy!
What is your medium of choice?
Most of my work focuses on wood burning and pyrography. I like to think that I have always had a creative eye and wood burning seems to be that medium that “just gets me”. I find the whole process relaxing and invigorating at the same time.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in loads of places! Anywhere from the natural world, the macabre, cultural cornerstones of history, and everything in between. It’s all inspiring

Where is your studio/work space?
I am fortunate enough to have space at home in my garage that I share with my roommate. From the spring through autumn, we tend to spend a lot of time out there working on various projects and listening to awesome tunes. Unfortunately, I have to bring my workshop inside during the winter since the cold does not bode well for wood or machinery that needs to heat up. Cheers to air purifiers and central heating!
What's your typical studio playlist?
I love all kinds of music though odds are that I am usually listening to some form of heavy metal while in the workshop. Currently, I’m really into some epic power metal out of Canada and black metal/shoe gaze out of France. It sounds crazy but it’s perfect for the changing seasons. Oh, and audio books!
Who are some of your creative idols?
There are so many out there. I love intricate, occult illustration at the moment. Some of my favorite artists include Godmachine and Adrian Baxter, both based out of the UK – their work is phenomenal.
Is there a story behind your business name?
The name Heathen Works really came out of my love for Viking and Germanic history, art, and mythology. My academic background is in Norse and Viking Studies so I really wanted to honor that part of my life and interest.
