When there’s a Will there’s a way!

Abby Will is a costume technician, craft artisan, and teaching artist currently located in Boone, NC. She is a recent Appalachian State Alum and currently works as an after-school coordinator at Two Rivers Community School.

I am an artisan. From designing a wig that bleeds on command to creating a historical dress for a ghost to engineering a wearable Demogorgon mask, my talents extend beyond a single discipline. I bring innovative and eccentric ideas that focus on the small details to all of my projects. The attention to small details makes the final project even more awe-inspiring. I strive to create work that is just as impressive, if not more so, up close as it is from a distance. While working, I feel most like myself when I express my creativity and challenge myself to do more than I thought possible.  I love learning new skills and applying them to all my projects. I never stop learning and view setbacks as a way to grow as an artist.
