The Tin Can Pottery Shop is a small gallery showcasing a variety of ceramics, fibre arts, jewellery and more from Vancouver Island. Our artists have a focus on handmade, local and often nature inspired works.
Emma Heitzmann is the owner and operator of the Tin Can Pottery Shop.
Emma has lived on Vancouver Island since late 2011 having graduated from a graphic design program in Calgary and took many years of Fine Art classes at NIC. She loves playing with clay and spending time exploring the alchemy of ceramics to develop new projects from the natural world.
Emma’s eclectic background is reflected in what she chooses to shape in clay. You might find a set of four ‘Metta-meditation cups’, fungi-inspired cups and tea-pots, or bee decorated mugs, plates, and bowls she’s christened ‘bee-ware.’ All pieces marry the principles of purpose to the fires of the imagination. Her newest work is inspired by the world of the microscopic, and features images of life such as tardigrades, stentors, paramecium and cyanobacteria.
