BOOKS
Fantasy and fiction shaped by imagination, care, and consequence.
These stories explore what happens when endurance is mistaken for strength, when silence protects the wrong things, and when unlikely people are asked to carry what others refuse to see.
Classes and Events
Shared Practices
These are not “sit quietly and listen” classes.
They’re hands-on, small-group experiences built around creativity, attention, conversation, and real practice.
You won’t just learn about something.
You’ll make, explore, reflect, and build alongside others in real time.
No pressure.
No perfection.
Just thoughtful spaces to create, experiment, and grow.
Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and welcoming.
And if you don’t see the kind of class or schedule you’re looking for, I’d love to hear your ideas.
Let's work together
Leadership is a creative act
Dr. Hannah Toney is a writer, educator, creative strategist, and interdisciplinary systems thinker whose work explores the relationship between storytelling, leadership, creativity, and what it means to remain human inside complex systems. Drawing from decades of experience in education, organizational learning, federal workforce development, theatre, and creative practice, she works with organizations, leaders, and learners seeking more thoughtful, human-centered ways to build, communicate, and grow. Whether through fiction, facilitation, studio work, or strategic collaboration, her work is grounded in the belief that creativity is not separate from innovation or leadership; it is foundational.
Stories from The Studio Above The Clouds
Notes from the middle of the work. A glimpse into process and practice.

Art
Art as a way of noticing.
Paintings, prints, and objects shaped by attention and practice.
Some pieces are held in the studio.
Some travel into daily life.
All of them begin the same way, by hand.
Original Works
One-of-a-kind paintings, ceramics, and studio pieces.
These works are held for in-person viewing through studio visits and select exhibitions. Each is made slowly, by hand, and meant to be encountered directly.
Everyday Ritual Objects
Art carried into daily life.
Candles, bookmarks, lamps, and small objects that hold original paintings and studio patterns. Items made to be used, handled, and lived with. These pieces move art from the wall into the rhythm of ordinary days.
Wearable Editions
Art in motion.
Limited designs translated into clothing and small-batch studio apparel. Pieces meant to move beyond the studio — into classrooms, studios, gatherings, and wherever the work continues.
