Alum Heath Wagoner in the NYTimes Magazine!

In today’s NYTimes Magazine, writer Alexa Brazillian features Class of 2015’s Heath Wagoner in her article “Silver Is No Longer Just for Heirlooms.” Here’s the first half of what she shares about Heath:

Heath Wagoner, 36, started making silver flatware during the pandemic lockdown. Missing the weekly dinners he used to host for friends, Wagoner — who studied metalsmithing as an undergrad and was working as a visual merchandising consultant for Tiffany & Co. — began crafting medieval-looking silver, brass and copper spoons and forks and posting them on Instagram. The enthusiastic response convinced him to launch a full line, much of which looks like it was poached from a 1920s cocktail party. Among his offerings are hors d’oeuvre picks topped with black or white pearls, an elegantly wonky oyster fork and a spoon designed specifically for eating vitello tonnato, the classic Italian veal dish. “Some of it doesn’t seem like it would apply to modern life,” he says, “but if you put out olives in a bowl with a special little silver spoon, people are going to use it and appreciate it.”

Congrats Heath!
