Statement

Gentry Night Studios
Minneapolis, Minnesota

Influenced by her mother and both of her grandmothers, Stacey Thompson learned to sew, cross-stitch, crochet and make jewelry at a very young age. She and her sister always had plenty of craft items surrounding them growing up and Stacey credits her dad for buying them all of the craft supplies they ever needed. Her first introduction to a sewing machine was when she was eight years old and her mother taught her and her sister how to sew their own shorts. She remembers how much fun it was to pick out the fabric for their custom clothing.

Today Stacey creates whimsical creatures and objects as Gentry Night Studios. The business was named after her favorite nephew. One day he told her sister, "Mommy, I'm an orange owl and my name is Gentry Night." Her nephew loves owls and so does Stacey. Her first creation was, of course, an orange owl named Gentry Night.
