Welcome to The Threshold

Every House has a keeper. This one simply chose me.

My name is Heather Black... curator, storyteller, art historian in training, and the slightly frazzled caretaker of Maison du Corbeau’s ever-expanding halls. I am the one who catalogs the curiosities, tends the archives, organizes the chaos (to the extent possible), and negotiates daily with the Crows for safe passage through the stacks.

Maison du Corbeau began as the smallest spark: a love for art, folklore, material culture, and the handmade. Over time, that spark grew into a living House: one filled with independent artists, strange wonders, soft magics, and the deeply human stories woven into objects crafted by hand.

My background lives at the crossroads of artistry and inquiry:
marketing director, curator, educator, archaeologist-at-heart, and lifelong gatherer of oddities.


I have spent years studying art history, material culture, and the ways people shape meaning through craft. I bring that same curiosity and reverence to every item within the Maison, whether it’s a tarot deck from a small studio, a hand-thrown cauldron cup, or a folk story whispered across centuries.

The House you explore is built with intention: each Room curated, each Book refined, each Chapter chosen with care.
This place is not static; it grows, shifts, and rearranges itself (often with crow interference). My role is simply to listen, translate, and keep the lantern burning for anyone who wanders in.

If you ever feel lost within the Maison, know this:
the House is alive, but it is never unkind.
And the Archivist — that’s me — is always nearby.

Welcome, wanderer. You are seen, and you are home.

The Archivist,
Keeper of the Gilded & Arcane

The Archivist is the bridge between the House and its Wanderers... cataloging treasures, tending lore, and ensuring every object is chosen with intention.

  • Curator

    Keeper of Objects & Intention

    I gather the extraordinary: indie art, handmade goods, magical tools, and stories shaped by human hands. Every time in the Maison is chosen with intention, reverence, and a curator's eye for beauty, meaning, and craft.

  • Storyteller

    Where Lore Lives & Breathes

    The House speaks in symbols, histories, and quiet little wonders. My role is to interpret, translate, and weave these threads into narratives that honor both maker and wonderer... stories that make objects feel alive.

  • Scholar

    A Mind in the Stacks

    Guided by my art history training and love of material culture, I approach the Maison as a living archive. I study what we create, what we keep, and what we pass on... preserving knowledge with care and a bit of crow-approved chaos.

  • Maker Advocate

    Champion of Independent Hands

    Maison du Corbeau exists to uplift independent artists and small-batch creators. I champion diverse markers, ethical craftsmanship, and sustainable artistry, ensuring every purchase supports the hands behind the magic.

Where to Next, Wanderer?

"The House is only alive because someone loves it into being."
